Chris Gholson puts the Nokta FORS Gold metal detector through its paces in the remote goldfields of central Arizona. Watch as a nugget is unearthed live to camera.
Good video! I’m curious as to just how small a piece it will detect. The gold in my area is not normally nuggets but flakes. Mostly very tiny but occasionally we find a piece about 1/2 of a piece of short-grain rice in size. Almost always digging flood gold too. Also...how steep is the learning curve on these things? I don’t have a ton of patience in my old age...😉 Ideally I’d get a Gold Monster 1000 but these Nokia units run 1/2 the price of a GM 1000 so...🤷🏻♂️ Thanks again for a great video!
The price for this has dropped significantly. I have used mine for over a year. No nuggets yet, but it goes very deep and will get the smallest of targets. Good machine for the money. Mine came with a pin pointer which is a great help.
Using the FORS I ended up carrying two scoops and one of those flat plastic sandwich containers. It would pick up nuggets the size of the head of a pin. I would take 20 forever to find the dang thing and was easier using two scoops sometimes.
I purchased a Nokia Fors Gold and quickly became unsatisfied. Not because of performance issues, because I cannot hear the tones very well. I have a high frequency hearing loss and many of the tone frequencies this detector outputs is beyond what I am able to hear. Especially the overload tone where the vibrate mode isnt adequate

Nokta and Makro Gold racer are the best machines I have used so far for nuggets.
I am planning to get a Fors gold plus next month.

anyone want to buy it? it's listed on treasure classifieds
Nice. Chris how do you block out useless signals. Thxs. ??
Chris, what setting were you using on your Nokta. I have a Fors Gold which I really like.
Nice gold nugget!
Hey chris you know a pin pointer would really help minimize time spent.
What is the weight of your nuggets found? Thanks
Bon travail
cool!
