[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 360229, member: 3775"] VLF's and the SDC can see all types of Nuggets where some PI's suffer, You can still use a VLF around mullock heaps and in high mineral areas but their performance drops in areas of hot to extreme ground, They will still work there but don't expect to be digging nuggets a foot deep or more because unless it is a large nugget then it will be hard to hear them above the ground noise, The biggest nugget ever found with a metal detector was found with a VLF at about a foot deep. In lesser ground conditions a VLF can and will find nuggets over 18" to 2 foot deep and more on nuggets over an Ounce. I know of a couple that have been found at those depths, In areas where there in junk in the Gold fields a VLF might be your best choice, But under common conditions a PI is going to give you the best possible chance, J.
