[QUOTE="Gold Mbr2020, post: 656193, member: 18382"] Hi, Great tip again Wal. I admit I do go over the immediate area after finding a bit very thoroughly but I haven't scraped more soil of the top. This does sound like WA (could be remote NSW or QLD too) as does the blog after by Moneybox, with creeks that have been dry for thousands of yrs and haven't accumulated a lot of iron, junk etc. The cks I come across in Vic I haven't been running a detector through due to all the junk that accumulates in them and most of them are on private property anyway or in areas close to towns and suburbia. On another note, I found 5 little solid bits all under 0.10gm in a 5 sqm area, with some holes and trenches around and some ironstone exposed. Thought it maybe the stringer reef that Wal mentioned in other posts. So I wondered should I dig down a foot or so in the area and sample some soil to pan? For the experts, is it possible to find an Oz nugget 1m down with a GPX 4500 and14x9 coil. I found it a bit of a stretch when i read it. [/QUOTE]
