[QUOTE="Adrian ss, post: 471488, member: 14143"] My TDI can see 0.05g in an air test no probs at approx 4cm. I doubt that I could see 0.02g bit of gold let alone detect it with the TDI . If I was in an area where the gold was around the 0.02g mark I would bag up some of the dirt and dish it later and get on with finding some real gold. It would be better to dish that size gold. Imagine chasing a tiny bit for 10 to 20 mins in the stinking heat with a detector that can give a loud signal on such small gold making you think it could be a large nugg only to find an almost invisible bit of gold when just ahead of you there is a chap with a lesser tecta than yours that can only signal well on large gold that you may even have laughed at and told him that he had no hope with that detector.You need a Minelab PI here mate, who then pings a biggie while you have been wasting time on a flake. Sure he may have walked over a stack of tiny tidlers but the time taken to recover them would be hours not a minute or two. Yes I know gold is gold and a lot of a little makes a nice bit of gold but some of it just isn't worth the effort of recovery unless you can recover it all in a short amount of time. This is not necessarily my belief but is simply another point of view. [/QUOTE]
