Here are the results from a day trip detecting the hillside between a ajor hard rock mine and a river containing alluvial gold. The gold I found has the character of reef gold and my future efforts detecting will be focussing upslope towards the source. The gpx 6000 with standard coil and no threshold is a potent combination in this area.

The gold in the river may have travelled many kilometers from its source. Like others have said quartz is very common and rarely contains gold. Are there any known gold mines in the area? Focus your efforts where the old timers proved it.

Latest Patches Have Got Me Thinking
Dan Smith replied to Nedkelly's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Hey Ned awesome gold. Do you have a photo of the ground for some context? Could have also been from a lack of water maybe. Or the strip was once a road or track used to cart the ore from the mine? -

My 3 favourite YouTubers are Two Toes, Goldfields Goose, and Victorian Gold Hunters. These keep me sane when between trips. Glen from vic gold hunters has a really good sense of humour and great knowledge of the old timer techniques. Two toes is a gold magnet and very knowledgeable. Goldfields goose great relationship with his mum and great videography imo.

Thanks i will definitely be sending mine back. I won’t be rushing in to get it updated though. I will wait till it is too hot for detecting. The way minelab have handled the issue is really poor. They should be contacting us. They know which detectors are affected and have our details from warranty registration. The market knows something is up. Codan shares down about 80 percent over the last year🤔

Great advice JP. I am guilty of focusing on those sweet shallow signals. Pesky buggers can get real frustrating after the first 20😃 thanks 👨🏻🦯⚒️👍 -
