[QUOTE="loamer, post: 42643, member: 981"] Have you worked the quartz reefs on the Whipstick where they dumped the smashed quartz? I would [b]not[/b] try any new ground at all and just try for the white quiet mullock and quartz dumps. How fast is your swing? The signals for smaller gold is generally just a slight break in the threashold (hence wear headphones). Screaming signals are usually trash. The Xterra 70 and 705 usually do very well with a DD, very slow swing speed, clear mullock and quartz and dig the faint signals. On the quiet ground they can usually be run pretty well flat out. I continue to do OK with the Xterra 70 if having a crack for small quartz species but I keep well away from any hot ground, or red mullock heaps - I have to turn the sensitivity way down - better off specking.
