[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 111174, member: 3682"] Spot on loamer! A good mindset to have mate. I too have nearly walked away from small pieces because of that exact same thing. About a year ago, I dug up a beautiful small 1.73 grammer that gave me an 'Iron grunt' on my GMT.....It wasn't a consistent grunt, nor was it a solid signal till I got an inch or two deeper, but the experience spun my head a bit. I remember taking a step or two away to head off after a light scraping with my boot thinking "Nah", something made me turn 180 and sweep that boot scrap one more time. I'm glad I did. i wont trust discrimination ever again. Besides, most junk is only shallow and its not a lot of real effort to unearth disappointment hey. Most times its gone with the 'boot scrape' anyway. The fact that the Old Timers sometimes hid their gold, buried in old jam tins to avoid bushrangers is haunting and for whatever reason, sometimes they never returned. Imagine walking away from something like that thinking you know what the signal is telling you? [img]http://i62.tinypic.com/10op2eb.jpg[/img] Regards [/QUOTE]
