Outlaw on nuggets?

[Habanero]

Anyone ever tried the outlaw on nuggets or at least tested some to see if it will work? I know there are much better choices; just curious is all. I hear the Vaquero does ok on them.

I found small copper nuggets and it got the ones that where grape nut size @ three inches deep that is the outlaw using the 7" DD but the Vaquero got them about 4.5" deep

I had one for awhile and didnt find it to be very good on nuggets. It would find them but wasnt grand.

Its not really a nugget machine is it,some VLF machine are better than others i guess,but the only way i guess to try and find nuggets would be use a small coil,in the UK we dont find gold nuggets with a detector,some have used pan methods in a few scottish rivers.

Your only option to get the machine to pick up small gold would be the the 4''-5'' size coil,even then i feel it would struggle,its not the right machine for the jov.The Lobo would be the far better option as that was basically designed for the job.

Thanks for the input; have one coming and was just pondering all the different types of hunting I may find myself into later on.

I have a Bandido microMax, predecessor to the Outlaw, that hits pretty well in AM- Autotune on the only small nugget I have. The Vaquero will probably hit better since it is a higher kHz machine. My Tejon seems to pick it the best of the machines I have.
