[QUOTE="nuggetino, post: 233671, member: 1884"] I've always wondered would you benefit spending more time digging every target or spending more time swinging the coil for good targets? Ie 8 hours of digging fuggets or 8 hours of covering much more ground in search of a non-ferrous sounding signal? I'll do a bit of both really. If I'm in an area I've found gold I'll usually hammer every target in the vicinity but when I'm on the explore in an area without a history of gold finds I'll wait for a decent signal in amongst the trash. If I'm detecting over patch of top soil I'll usually leave shallow targets as typically unless it's a nugget fallen from an old timers pocket it's probably junk. I suppose there is the chance of loud and shallow sounding a 1 kg+ nugget lurking beneath the top soil in the GT [/QUOTE]
