[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 520700, member: 1375"] Welcome to the real world ..... I hope a lot of Aussie Gold Hunters viewers see this, realise it's not easy and (better for the rest of us) stay away. But seriously, you've at least found gold, I've been helping 1 bloke on and off over a few trips but his score is still zero, nil, SFA. Another 'pupil' picked up a great historic button AND a 1gm plus piece without owning a detector on his 1st day out (he was using mine) but went out the next day and bought 1 ....... since that day about 9 months ago he now finds gold on 90/95% of his outing, my hit rate is very similar with very few trips without finding at least 1 piece ...... BUT others are still doing much better. Difference is I'm using the SDC but also use a GPX (with fewer results). In your case maybe a coil smaller than the 15" may change your "luck", you may be walking over gold but the bigger coil is targeted to bigger pieces down deeper. Probably doing nothing wrong and probably in the right areas but just need a coil more sensitive to the smaller gold that's still out there. IF you're not into small gold, keep going as you are, sooner of later you'll walk over a big one that will make up for the goldless days. Cheers T. [/QUOTE]
