I have found some specimens that had to be dollied and panned as the gold was not visible , with the GM 1000, ,  these pieces where on dumps close to mined areas.

Some of the gold I got on this trip was also like that - a chunk of quartz with no visible gold - but if the GM1000 says its a non-ferrous target inside, you can pretty well bet its going to be gold even if you cant see it from the outside.

The six pieces I Dollied had a combined content of just over 3 grams of gold and the largest piece of quartz was the size of a baseball , very iron stained and in one piece , the gold could  be seen once cracked open with a hammer. All gave a positive reading on the meter once dug and scanned close to the coil. At depth the meter swung more to the ferrous.
