[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 605028, member: 4012"] Well done, Bronc. Now it's time for the serious prospecting work - I'd suggest you scour that spot and the surrounding area with maximum thoroughness: there's got to be more there somewhere. Go slowly, moving fallen branches to cover the ground under them; check close in around large trees and old stumps, where the root systems can push underlying gravels to the surface. If necessary, use flagging tape to temporarily mark corners of a search area, so you can be certain of 100% ground coverage. When you finish each site visit, try to remove all signs of your work so that others aren't alerted to the possibility of a patch. To show you what this might entail, here's a pic of an intensively worked small patch that Redfin published on PA some years back. Hopefully he doesn't mind me sharing it again here, as it's such a perfect example of serious metal detecting, rather than the common 'wander and hope' approach. Needless to say, any raked areas should be restored to their original state before leaving site: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/4012/1619139022_redfin_patch_no_diggings_no_gully.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
