[QUOTE="Perth Tim, post: 499370, member: 15405"] Hello all, I'm planning my next trip and I'm applying for a 40e permit, so obviously I want to maximise where I use those 10 blocks (plus my time is limited) I'm looking at a location with a run of old workings following a line of green stone and my target area is Aci running through Czl about 300 metres from the line of workings. There's also a few lines of chert running through the area as well as mafic and felsic intrusions with the lines of chert bordering them. I've been researching the area and the old timers were chasing quartz veins which were described as very rich at the surface but poor down at depth, which probably explains why there's been no modern mining. I think it looks like a good place to detect, my only hesitation is that some of this sits on a different band of bedrock and the old timers have only followed one of the bedrock bands, does this likely mean the other bands of bedrock although they look good are barren? Or would they still hold good potential for detecting? I'm trying to think like a gold nugget, but my natural tendency to over analyse is getting in the way :argh: [/QUOTE]
