[QUOTE="Jin, post: 522200, member: 16842"] I decided to hunt a nearby area where id got a few bits before. Decided to just put on the 18" Elite and detect at a walking pace. A sharp signal pulled me up real quick and it turned out to be half an ounce at a depth of 350mm. Detected around that piece for a day and found nothing. (low and slow) On the next trip, I decided to widen my search area again. Moving at a fast pace I started at the top of a slope and detected around the hill, dropping down 3 meters each time as I worked around the hill. Still moving at a fast rate and swinging quickly another sharp signal pulled me up. This time it was a 2-gram piece at around 200mm. Once the initial discovery was made then I grided the area using many different sized coils and many different timings/settings. Turns out most of the gold was concentrated in a small patch 20m away from that half-ounce piece. [/QUOTE]
