[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 318205, member: 3960"] Larry I don't know your area but most of us have spent months working the hills an creeks before we found the first bit. All I can suggest is spend a good portion of your time on research. You need to be in an area where nuggety gold has been found. You might find gold where the old timers sunk shafts and mined reef gold or others panned for gold in the creeks but we may not be able to reach that gold with a metal detector. We can only expect to get alluvial or eluvial gold on or near the surface however sometimes we manage to snag a bit that somebody has dragged up from down deep and left in their mullock heap.
