    Strong Signal on newly exposed Quartz vein- what lies within?

    Yes, we made sure we covered up the hole very well so no one can tell there is a digging. I learned that lesson many years ago after having a hole we were excavating and getting good gold got cleaned out by a professional American prospector who was roaming the same area. You just knew it was...

    Minelab Eureka gold tips, settings, questions

    Hello from Far North Queensland

    My experience with gold prospecting so far has always been in alluvial gold. So crevassing, panning and sluicing are still options for gold recovery we may still use if there is no detectable gold in an area known for it's gold occurrences. I think it is never wise to put all your eggs into...

    Hello from Far North Queensland

    But Greg, what was there before pulse induction metal detectors? VLF detectors like the Eureka Gold have found a lot of gold, but getting dialled in to the ground and keeping it that way is obviously the challenge. See they do find deep gold.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO3BDMBqO4w So...
