    1M coils?

    Wintersnake, I think I am picking up some over enthusiastic vibes here. Are you serious about this idea or are you possibly new to the game and being a bit like a kid sitting in front of a whole ice cream cake? If its the latter then there is reasons why we dont all jump to super big coils that...

    ground noise vs gold noise

    Another type of sound that can be miss interpreted, and walked away from is a large broad almost deep groan. It can be heard almost halfway across your swing. If you step 90deg's to the swing and get the same sound it can be a deep larger target. This will be a very different sound to your usual...

    Planning a first time trip to Victoria - any advice?

    Hello, Where you are going is as good a spot as any. I would recommend getting John Tullys map of the area and go for your life. The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence so stay close to Castlemaine is my tip. Whithin half an hour is all good. There is lots of history in the area...

    mullock heap question

    Costeins are the inspection points I was trying to point out. They are one in the same. From the spot you have described, you should find gold there. It has produced gold in the past and will in the future. Take your time, the grass is not always greener just over the hill so to speak. However...

    mullock heap question

    Rodstar, The white clay is what is known as pipe clay. It sit at the bottom of the holes. Gold has a lot of trouble making its way through clay and therefor sits on top of it. Rule of thumb is, when you hit the clay you have hit the bottom. Not always the case as this could be a false bottom as...
