[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 654701, member: 4386"] Points well made - mechanical concentration processes will usually be working on more than one bit of alluvial gold. Most detecting on reefs understand the need not to walk away after the first find. Gold concentrates chemically in quartz reefs as well, so few lumps of gold in reefs are solitary too. I've seen it with a mate who pulled 20 oz out of a reef the first day, focusing just on a small area. Went back and did the same small area and its margins the next day - got another 10 ounces....
