The XP ORX with 9-inch X35 coil is capable of gold prospecting in low to moderately mineralized ground, with two factory gold programs (Gold and Fine Gold) pre-tuned for nugget hunting. The Gold program works best in soils with moderate iron content, delivering good sensitivity to medium and large nuggets in dry washes and decomposed granite hillsides. The Fine Gold program is optimized for heavily mineralized soils with dense hot rocks, offering good sensitivity to small and medium nuggets while filtering ferrous trash with five levels of IAR discrimination. The X35 coil's lower frequencies (3.7 to 10 kHz) penetrate mineralized ground without false signals from magnetite, though dedicated high-frequency gold machines will outperform it on sub-gram nuggets.
