[QUOTE="travelergold, post: 469821, member: 5200"] Sorry if this falls out of topic, but my experience is that test lead or gold buried do not always give a good example. We have dug some oz to 2oz specemin targets, actual gold content, and once unearthed and you then drop back in the hole the coil would not pick up at ground level. And yes they came from the bottom of hole, not the edge. So in saying that even though i have used test patches i only use for an idea of depth, and for learning the machine settings and capabilities then go from there. I think people who find very large gold would be very shy in posting pictures. Harder to sell afterwards as buyers want some of these nuggets to have never been seen on media of any sort. On another note, not every body films every target they dig so then saying it was found at a certain depth is really only hearsay. Just like the fish that got away. [/QUOTE]
