[QUOTE="cairnspom, post: 277686, member: 4645"] Well I just spent a long weekend at Long Gully near Forsayth, no gold but I think I cornered the market in rusty steel and iron! and I discovered the real 'downside' of the Z....its very tiring digging 5-750mm holes to find rusty metal! :mad: :D still it was good to get away for the weekend 'out bush' anyway. on a more serious note, I think I 'dug' 2 'tree roots' with the Z, I got a faint but repeatable signal, on the downstream side of 2 trees, where heavies could be deposited in the resulting vortex, so I dug them. Hard going trying to get round the roots, and this prevented me from being able to get the Z coil in the hole, but I was still getting a signal over the top of the hole. After going down about 500mm I fetched the SDC and ...nothing...no signal at all. I think I have read of something like this on here, but wondered if anyone had any comments? [/QUOTE]
