[QUOTE="Westaus, post: 108988, member: 2598"] Thanks MM very informative, pictures certainly assist. Just curious if through your searching process, would you be detecting in and around those areas. Or are you more concerned on what the rock may contain from a mining setup ? To setup a hypothetical - Walking through bush detecting, when you come across this structure. Do you - Continue detecting in and around this structure - Forget detecting and pull out the hammer taking samples back for crushing - Start loaming in and around the vicinity - All of the above Just curious if you would look for some nuggets to start with and then work your way smaller. Or start smaller (loaming, pan) and hopefully work your way up ! I found a small nugget last trip out that was in a bit of foliated rock. I dug around a bit due to other signals, but could never find anything. In hindsight I should have taken a few scoops of soil for the pan. Even chipped a bit more of the host rock. I am pretty sure I left gold behind :8 Could not see anything obvious in the hold dug, but I was in an area that heaps of indicators everywhere. [/QUOTE]
