[QUOTE="Guest, post: 522469"] Hey mate not for me. I choose where I walk. I know exactly where I m going the day before. I look at the spot and pick out say 4 trees that make a square then go up and back in that square in one metre increments covering every sq cm of that small area. I remove every god dam piece of tin, birdshot, square nails, boot tacks etc etc. Every now and then a piece of gold may show up. I ve spent half a day removing rubbish from spots around half the size of a basketball court. My mindset is I have to remove everything from this spot as if the targets were landmines and make it safe for kids to walk through. Every whimper, groan, booming rubbish signal gets dug. A 5 gramm nugget 2 inches from the coil sounds like a coke can. It hard tedious boring work. I spend more time on my knees digging holes than walking around hoping for some good luck. I don't wander around too much now hoping for some good luck. Luck is a sham. Hard work is king. I don't know where the gold is, it's up to the operator to find it! [/QUOTE]
