Gold jewelry - rings, earrings, chains - yes, these are regular finds for hunters using $200-$400 machines at parks and beaches. Gold nuggets require a machine specifically designed for gold prospecting with high-frequency sensitivity and specialized ground balance - the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 and Fisher Gold Bug Pro are the entry point for that and cost more. For gold jewelry recovery, the machines in this price range are fully capable. For gold nugget prospecting in mineralized ground, look at dedicated gold detectors.
