[QUOTE="Goldfield Joe, post: 672943, member: 3537"] Hi all, I would be interested to have your thoughts on detecting the flats beside old workings. I have noticed that where there is a run of shallow diggings following the old watercourse or in a shallow gully that there are sometimes large flats on each side where the ground is shallow as well. Often if I test dig, it's not far down I hit gravel. Are these places worth dectecting with a large coil I wonder? Or were they left alone for good reason? Obviously the gold was concentrated to the old watercourse and was richest there. Has anyone had luck with finding pieces on a flatter area beside the original workings? Damn I should have taken a photo. Perhaps if I can edit this post later I will upload an image to show what I mean... [/QUOTE]
