I thought this story might be nice to share. I went up waanyarra camping for the night couple weeks ago for some detecting. I was working the creek there when Im just scraping the walls with my detector listening very closely. When I hear the faintest change in tone. I investigate scrapping layer after layer of dirt away. I go to test it again and can swear its getting louder but Im not entirely sure if its anything at all or just ground noise. I persist for at least an hour, the wall was like hard rock/clay and I only had a Bunnings pick. After a long time Im 50/50 if it is a target or not but I just couldnt go on any further, its getting dark Im buggered and the pick I had was doing next to nothing. I almost needed a jack hammer. I left the next day leaving the wall as I wasnt even sure if it was anything. Fast forward to the weekend past I went up again for the night and was detecting thinking Il check that target in the wall. Had some serious rain before I came and was very wet and boggy. To my surprise no one had touched my hole in the wall. So I wave the coil over it and would you believe it I got a screaming target. I dug and dug having a new walco pick and the rain made it a lot easier. After some time I was atleast a foot or two in the wall into great looking ground and I was sure it was a thumper of a nugget I thought it just couldnt be anything else this deep in the wall. After more and more digging it turned out to be a huge chunk of old rusted iron! I was gutted I thought how the hell could something like this even get this deep! Anyway was a fun trip apart from that disappointment
