I would like to ask that any users with posts that might fit better in the Gold Prospecting forum post there. Though, i leave that up to them as i am aware that many Gold Hunters utilize Metal Detectors solely in searching for nuggets.
 
Thanks and lets hear from you folks. Happy Hunting!

Your last paragraph  is what has me wondering. Is a detector that is used for coins also able to be used for gold nuggets? or are these different specialized detectors? 

I'm going to be retiring in about 3 years or so, and though I have a old Tesoro (I bought  it to pick up roofing nails when I was getting a new roof put on when I live in NC) I have never used it to look for coins, or really anything else. It has sat on a bench for probably 12 years or more (the batteries are out of it though), but I have been thinking about giving coin hunting a try. Also I might like to shoot for nuggets in Arizona some time--might be nice to spend a winter there rather than in Missouri after I retire. I'm going to have to figure out how I'm going to be spending my time when I retire, and metal detecting seems like it might just be a nice new hobby for me. I've got a lot to learn.

Thanks;
