[QUOTE="Matt80, post: 536033, member: 3461"] Machines like the Falcon MD20 can detect free mill gold in ore far smaller than a normal detector but it can only tell you if the rock in your hand has gold in it or not, it won't find the vein only tell U if it's good or not. The big mining companies often use a form of ground penetrating radar to find the veins underground and to determine how conductive they are (mineralisation). It's not equipment most people can get their hands on and is very expensive if they can. It also requires trained people to use it and a computer to make sense of the readings. The small units will often have one person dragging or wheeling the detector around with a second person holding a laptop recording the readings and putting it together in a way it can be understood. The big units can be be suspended from helicopters, though that's a different technology again that they normally use first to find the most likely areas to test more thoroughly. Even with the best technology they still have to drill to test the reef, but they can at least find the reefs. Still none of this is stuff the average person is likely to be able to do. [/QUOTE]
