[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 83239, member: 2964"] Hi Tim, 150 nuggets and none of them over a gram, thats got to be some record. :) You obviously know how to detect. I guess the best advice i have is to move away from the diggings, try many different spots and do the usual things like detecting the bottom of slopes where they start to level off a bit and detect slowly if you find a flat step down the side of a slope. I feel a 11 round mono is an OK coil size. Swinging an 18 will give you more depth and a chance at big deep gold, however swinging an 18 can get frustrating. I would stick with the 11 mono and put an 18 on the end of the stick if you find a couple nuggets in or near deeper ground. I am sure a bigger nugget is just around the corner.
