While anyone will tell you no one detector is perfect for all uses, I think the X70 is a great all around detector that will do a very good job for you. The patterns disc. mode is perfect for coin hunting, but I'd avoid trashy areas until that smaller coil comes out for better target separation (are you reading this MINELAB??). The prospecting mode should do a very good job at nugget hunting - it's very sensitive and deep. You also should try this mode when you relic hunt if it's possible. Prospecting mode is so sensitive the small iron trash may keep you too busy checking signals, but it's definitely worth a try. I haven't been relic hunting with mine yet, but I'm certainly planning on doing the same. Good luck in your decision.
