[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 214158, member: 3149"] What Heatho & Havinago said is spot on - not to mention, the bigger shallow nuggets have been picked up long ago. What's left is mostly very small, deep, in very mineralised soils....so you need everything in your favour - good machine, good technique, good ears, persistence, and be prepared to dig lots of holes. There would still be quite a bit of gold in very trashy areas in the goldfields. Your best bet at getting these bits is with a very powerful VLF that has a good ground balance, and an adjustable iron reject, and a small DD coil would be a help too. The best units that come to mind are the Fors CoRe/Gold, Fors Gold + (which I'm currently testing), X-Terra 70/705, and possibly something like a Fisher Gold Bug and/or F75. Now, I should probably clarify that when it comes to discriminating for gold, you only JUST want to ignore MOST of the larger shallower iron. This will minimise discriminating any gold. You will still have to dig any aluminium, brass, lead, etc. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
