[QUOTE="chuggett, post: 627649, member: 22151"] Hey Clynt, Didn't find any gold mate, I think the wet soil was making things difficult, not sure but as I'm new at detecting, seemed like I'd find a target only to have all of the soil coming out of the hole responding, changing coils and settings didn't seem to help. Was hard work on the last day finding a single piece of lead shot, the guy I was detecting with has been finding gold around the area but he only managed 2 pieces of lead also. Does this point to salt in the soil? On my first day I found over 30 pieces of shot, some quite deep but after the rain (admittedly was a different spot) any target was hard to find even when very shallow. Anyway it was a good learning experience with a new machine and new ground, if the rain eases off (doesn't look like it will) in the very near future I might sneak up for another look when the ground dries up. Haven't got Facebook mate, got the shits up with it a few years ago and deleted it, might have to look at getting it again as it could be a valuable resource when travelling to new areas around the country next year, very generous offer to help me find colour Clynt, thanks. Cheers,Chuggett. [/QUOTE]
