[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 585522, member: 5638"] ok...here is another tip that may work for you. Next old patch you find leave your detector in the car. Grab your GPS (we use Garmin GPS Map 64) and waypoint every dighole in the patch. Take your time and get everything you can. When you have done this, 'zoom out' on the GPS to a scale where you can see all the waypoints on the screen. Now....see if you can see a pattern...hint, there is always a pattern...sometimes it;s just a round random blob but if you get lucky it may form an obvious shape that will tell you where you need to be next. Sure you can go onto the patch itself and re-work it if you must, but by heading out on srtike you may find the gold that previous operators have missed. Lets say the shape is a long rectangle...you may want to work out at both short ends of the rectangle.What I would do in this case is use the GPS to mark a waypoint say 1km out from the patch and walk out to it zig-zagging around 100m wide all the way. Then repeat on the other end of the patch. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
