[QUOTE="navieko, post: 491040, member: 988"] Yeah true I suppose if there's any ore I come across worth crushing it'll give a signal on my Whites GMT... only issue is my GMT has an issue where it goes beserk (signal overload) soon as I put the gain passed 5. Initially was when I set it to 7+ so it's unfortunately getting worse. Time for an upgrade soon I guess, just hard to justify the cost of a decent detector living up here in far north QLD where we have very few areas that have detectable nuggets. Mainly though was just interested in finding out from those more experienced in looking for/mining primary gold deposits (reef gold) if finding a few tiny specimens like I have in a pretty small section of creek (that has no history of gold mining in area and barely any gold in other parts of the same creek) is possibly worth the effort to try and track down -- keeping in mind that the area where the gold is coming from more or less backs onto my property so potentially not a lot of effort in traveling/leg work (though plenty of dense undergrowth and wait-a-while to deal with which can be a pain).
