Gold In Hotrocks! Bring Your Hammer

Yes in the video the rock he was digging into was a conglomerate.  True Iron Stone is black as black can be however I've found more than a few bits it it.  What can be questioned is what you, or anyone, is kicking aside.  What the video shows is what I would call latterite conglomerates~ a mix of iron and other materials~ that leads to pocket nuggets.  Good stuff. Something I look for.
That was part and parcel to my challenge in the last two years on "hot rocks".   For me, having used a PI and VLF, looking for gold there were a lot of rocks that just got kicked aside.  Surface stuff. And believe it or not there is a fair amount of surface stuff your going to kick with the Zed or any detector.  In conditions like the video, and SDC on hot ground or even the Zed or a 5000, its not unusual and face it... how many carry a hammer ??  He has sharp signals.  Something I outlined.  I would not pass them up and the dolly pot would sing ;)
