[QUOTE="casper, post: 73075, member: 562"] All true! My first experience with detecting (early 1970's) was as a pick'n'shovel man for a mate with one of the first Garrett detectors. He would look at a line of diggings (holes and mullock heaps) snaking along a bush gully and say that under every heap is virgin ground. The idea was that we would put the mullock back in the hole (he detecting as the heap got lower) and keep digging and detecting the new uncovered ground. But to be truthful it was bloody hard hot work and we settled for just levelling mullock heaps and moving onto the next - a good idea that didn't last more than 1 day :D casper [/QUOTE]
