Cultural diffrences and spelling aside, my spelling is not that great either, Yes it can be used for hunting gold nuggets, it won't go as deep as the Minelab SD series but it will compete with the VLF gold machines to a degree. The smallest I've tested with has been 0.6gram nugget at about 4" with the stock 10.5" coil should get better depth with the 15" WOT from coiltek. I've seen many reports of the Explorer finding gold nuggets. Not a lot of people using it for nugget hunting but some of the finds have been of decent size. Good luck and change your alias to DTEC-ADICT, As to your earlier post, misunderstanding noted and sorry for poking fun at your alias spelling. Miles

Thank you Miles for your good explanation .I'm going to Dawson City Yukon in the end of May and I was not sure if my Explorer would do a good job over there, here in Quebec there is not to many place to get nuggets. my Explorer will team up with a Tesoro SLT and xt18000
Good hunting

Minelab XT18000 Try and do some comparisons of how the XT18000 and the Explorer do on the same targets, before you dig it up, as far as depth and relative ease of hearing the signals. No one has had a chance to do a real side by side of the explorer vs XT18000. And post the results on this forum. It doesn't have to be super scientific just your general thoughts on how well the explorer handles the gold fields. And show us some photos of the gold you find when you get back. Good Luck!!!
