[QUOTE="SCROUNGER, post: 219751, member: 4820"] I work very shallow (surfaced) ground davent and to date have only found nugs to 1.5 grams. I found a couple of half grammers the other day down about 200-250mm deep. I've dug bigger metal targets down twice that depth that the sdc has registered on quite easily. I think if i swung over a bigger nugget i know it would definitely register but to my mind they are best suited for very shallow (to 300mm deep) worked ground. Once the depth gets greater than that i start to lose confidence that i'm going to register on gold down deeper unless it is bigger in size. I'm totally confident that if i swung over a bigger nugget in ground say to 400mm or so the sdc would pick it up. Unfortunately where i detect there have been, and still are plenty of people sweeping with bigger machines and getting all the easier/larger stuff imo. The better pieces i'm picking up are generally in areas where i know the bigger coils can't get into. Mbasko said in a previous post he thought there may have been some reduction in depth with the use of thicker skid plates according to reports. [/QUOTE]
