[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 576371, member: 3960"] Thanks RM, I've seen the many good reports on Olivers but I try to shy clear of anything with a toe-cap. That's not because of the metal but I spend a lot of time crouched down (if I'm lucky) digging or sorting through the dirt. That's when the toe-cap gives me trouble. My foot can't bend where it's meant to. The soft sole will wear out in the rocky ground we travel but I need all the grip I can get. I'm getting too old to come back from a fall without feeling the effects for days to come. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/3960/1601363744_shale.jpg[/img] This sort of terrain is hard on boots but a lot harder on the body if you fall. It might look like a crazy place to be trying to swing a detector but it has gold.... The 128g specimen (youtube video) came from the bottom of this hill. I never found whatever it broke free from :/ [/QUOTE]
