The ACE Apex can detect gold nuggets, especially when running the higher single frequencies like 15 or 20 kHz. Higher frequencies offer improved sensitivity to smaller, less conductive targets including gold. The detector's 175-point ground balance scale handles mineralized ground common in gold country, and the Multi-Frequency mode can filter out hot rocks while maintaining sensitivity to small nuggets. The Apex is not a dedicated pulse-induction gold machine, but it is a capable multi-frequency detector for detectorists who hunt coins and relics and occasionally prospect in gold-bearing ground.
