No ID or discrimination is survivable in cases when you're just digging everything (for example, at the beach, or in some relic dumps).
But operating on 1.25 KHz means it will be absolutely blind to small(ish) gold. You'll have a better luck finding gold with a $50 Harbor Freight detector.

The "1.25kHz" refers to the pulse frequency, which has no correlation whatsoever to a VLF detector's frequency. Generally, a mine detector designed for minimum metal mines will have similar performance to what you find in a nugget detector as they are both trying to find very small bits of metal. I would expect the F3 to be similar to the SDC2300, though I've never used an F3.
