[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 668732, member: 4728"] Reckon there would be three ways to go. 1. The Star Trek approach to go boldly (hopefully) where no man (prospector) has gone before. (We wish) These are maybe areas which have no traditional gold workings but by geological indications seem no different to areas where gold has been found. A bit of geological knowledge and research may be your best bet there. But also maybe just taking a chance. 2. The technology approach involves having the best (maybe newest) detecting gear to go over ground that in the past has been highly productive but thrashed by prospectors using less capable gear. There are always nuggets big and small just out of reach of previous era‘s technology. 3. The expert approach that involves patience, skill and thoroughness on using just the gear that one possesses in the most productive way. Working slowly and listening for faint whispers can also be successful in uncovering those just out of reach nuggets. Having a detector‘s settings in the most optimal configuration for the ground to be detected can also identify those targets. Thorough ground coverage of every inch can also help. Maybe the easy stuff has gone, but I don’t reckon the GT is finished by a long way. [/QUOTE]
