[QUOTE="SCROUNGER, post: 215552, member: 4820"] Welcome to PA, My advice when learning and especially with the sdc IS to stick with the heavily surfaced areas and along the edges of those surfaced areas Gayil. There is plenty of very small gold left in many of these areas. Especially look for areas where there is lots of very small quartz and ironstone visible and work those areas. Other areas with the sdc are the mullock heaps. Both these areas have generally been well and truly gone over by people over the decades but there is often plenty of small gold still to be detected with the sdc. Other than that my one piece of advice is to keep the detector plate on the ground as much as possible and to sweep it extremely slowly. Oh, by the way, a half grammer isn't a bad find, most of the gold found with the sdc's are way less than that in weight. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
