[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 434258, member: 4485"] Most likely refers to a Group or Formation locally. "Geologists place a known sequence or layers of different rock units found in the same area together and call the combined layers 'groups'. Groups are divided into formations and sometimes formations are further divided into members or units."

Whether it's a good area to detect would depend on local geology & that group/formation being a known detectable gold source. [/QUOTE]
