[QUOTE="PeterInSa, post: 582607, member: 6627"] Re (other detectors have been with there chaining) In the past we have found gold in chained areas, in one place it had been chained with chain lines 40cm apart then at right angles then at 45deg in both directions, it must have been a very very good patch when first found. If well away from our camp I sometimes set a large rock 50m away then detect towards the rock scuffing the ground every 3m with the heel of my boot, get to the rock move it over 1m or so then detect towards the other rock 50m away ( previously offset 1m). The heel marks are good for a few days then the wind camouflages my patch. Can be visited again with a more modern detector years later with possibly none the wiser. [/QUOTE]
