[QUOTE="JD3, post: 555542, member: 18172"] I think Moneybox's is pretty much on the money. Another is an eroded bit of ground in the typical type of area you hunt in at varying depths. Used to be a few in my area but mongrels dug them up or put targets all over the place to stuff it all up. Typical. But either in your typical ground you hunt in is an ok try. Nothing will ever beat undug gold targets but a good test spot like Money showed is fair. You can replicate that in all ground types regardless of erosion or whatever. Here is a fact. When the GP Xtreme was released and had issues, and man did it have some. That exact same test type, exact, was utilised in Dunolly with the late, gee I liked that guy and was there with him at the time, Jim Stewart. The test patch itself was set up by a well known and great mate, along with Jim, Porky. It was near Sporting Flat Dunolly. Minelab sent a guy over called Phil. We spent over a week trying to sort depth, sensitivity and tracking things out. Actually think it was more like near 2 weeks and a bit. But that type of test set up, shown by Money, was, fact, the exact type set up at Sporting Flat Dunolly that ended up sorting out the GP Xtreme issues. True story. [/QUOTE]
