Am I suppose to detect ridges or gullies?

[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 666611, member: 1414"] Xadz, One method I have applied with success. If and when you find "old" workings in a valley always work your way down towards and into the inevitable creek running through the valley. Search in down stream direction and pay particular attention to the upside of any natural crossbars across the Creek. Generally there is a build up of sand against bar. Shovel the sand aside until you reach bed rock and detect. One creek I remember removing about half a meter of sand the width of the creek (about 3 metres) Was worth the effort, over an ounce of gold with my Minelab SD2100. Returned the next day with my dry blower and retrieved over half an ounce of very fine gold. [/QUOTE]
