Guest AussieDigs Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Id say not Mad. It doesnt cross any vein that i can see but there was evidence that it did follow a reef. Its typical of what ive seen plenty of elsewhere. In one of the diggings there was quartz at one end showing what they were following. Geez, they have done some digging if they are only looking/testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacky Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yeah, I don't know how you guys endure the whole dig every metal target thing. I have a hard enough time with lead shot using discrimination. Any gold I'm missing is ok, because I'm confident I would just give up and have zero chance if I had to dig every piece of iron too. My ADD pretty much requires I always play to maximize my % of good targets over bad targets, rather than getting every good target out of the ground. It would be nice to have better patience, but I don't, and at my age it isn't going to change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Wilson Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 My rule is to at least move every target, even what sounds like surface junk. After many years of detecting I can usually tell a junk target, but every now and then there will be one that fools me, and after grudgingly digging what I have assumed by the sound to be just another bit of rubbish, out comes a slug of the 'real' thing. Some of these surprises have been pretty big. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Any nugget over an oz close to the surface sound like junk to me and the larger they get the more they do. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AussieDigs Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Well, i didnt get a chance to detect today as the weather was just not on for it. Instead later in the day i took the dogs for a drive to look at some mines. Interesting that one on the map i couldnt find with another being an adit was not on the map. One adit that we accessed many years ago has collapsed at the entrance to the point i cant even find where it was at the tailings site. It was a great 1 1/2 hr scouting. I dig all signals. Im too new not too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
