[QUOTE="maxwell4, post: 338372, member: 4283"] Hi guys, Interesting topic. My theory is that if once you have started up and been going for some time and the SDC starts to warble a bit and you move away and it stops, then the "patch" that you were swinging over my well be highly mineralised and or contain gold that the detector is struggling to see. Last week i thought I had a weak signal and the machine started to warble, Paul 13 was with me so I asked him to check with the Zed and he could hear nothing. As I have had this happen several times in the past, good red clay etc,etc I went to the car, got my bucket and scraped up a few handfulls of dirt to pan off at home, just to test the theory. While not yet fully convinced the photo is the result. Maybe luck or maybe next time it happens, if I am near the car, I might put it to the test again. Not a very big reward for the effort, but gold is gold after all and it still gives you a thrill to see a speck in the pan.
