[QUOTE="Calico, post: 661394, member: 14444"] Yes no probs mate. Standard 11 inch coil sensitivity 7, difficult on a creek edge so the hole was actually submerged once I dug it. I basically grabbed handfuls of rock and muddy sludge and kept swiping over the coil untill it pinged, took a while and also found rusty crap a metre either side.I was expecting rust so was excited to see the quartz change the threshold for once. Hole underwater was aprox 250 mm from water level, nice mellow sound not like the rust that blanks easily. After an sg test aprox gold content is 3.4 g from my calcs. I’ll alibrite it tomoz and post an after pic once cleaned. I’m praying that black film of rocky substance disappears that’s obscuring the gold layer. Still stoked as! [/QUOTE]
