Trent King Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Five golden rules you want to know hey, these are made up on the spot but should do 1. Know where you are (gps) and whos land (claim) you are walking around at all times. 2. Learn how to find gold with the standard coil and factory preset settings before trying fancy stuff and confusing things. 3. Dig everything, do not try to discriminate by ear. And take the rubbish home, dont throw the nail back to find again in a few years. 4. Research your chosen area thoroughly, knowing your in the right area is great for confidence, newbies often second guess themselves and give up to easy. 5. Fill your holes in, dont want to upset the authorities, but also dont want to leave signs of where your working for others to follow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
