[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 304413, member: 3149"] Hi Nick, Chapel Hill would be your better bet with the 705, as Jupiter Creek is generally pretty mineralised. I'd highly recommend the 6" DD 18.75 kHz coil, as that will give you the best chance on pinging small gold. The 10x5" is good, but the 6" is better. Also always use headphones as some small targets will give a very faint response. A lot of Chapel Hill is "out of bounds" for the big PI units (due to electrical interference from the big power line and electric fences), so a good VLF still stands a very good chance there. I rarely fail to find a small piece or two there with the Marko Gold Racer. Crafters has no history of gold that I'm aware of, but it isn't far from Uraidla, so you never know. Stained quartz is a good sign, and if there's any ironstone then even better. I'd be scanning those quartz veins for sure. Nenad [/QUOTE]
