[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 585474, member: 5729"] What machine ? Do you use a scoop ? Use the method nightjar mentioned then scrape material back checking every 1inch of material until the signal moves from dig site and into scraped back pile , then reuse nightjars method to find where in pile signal is , scoop that part up until you have signal in scoop. Slowly shake material into your hand, checking all the time for signal in scoop do this until signal moves from scoop to hand and hey Presto you should find it. Other disappearing signals are caused by Steel cap boots Pick to close to coil Mobile phone in pocket Steel pins in your bones Wind Hot rocks Remember gold is tiny and detectors are super sensitive , everyone starts out looking for golf ball sized nuggets when reality is the most common nuggets will be match head sized.
