[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 641570, member: 4012"] "[I]Trying hard and going strong[/I]" is great, James, but the number of locations you mention has me thinking that you're probably moving too fast. That's easy to do when you're feeling keen, but wherever you go others have already been, so you need to search more thoroughly than they did. Are you finding lots of shotgun pellets and tiny metal/wire fragments? If not, you could easily be walking over small gold. Going to lots of places is what tourists do, successful prospectors - not so much. Pick a spot and spend the day there, then come back the next day, look at it with fresh eyes and then scour it again from a different angle, especially looking for rough areas that others may have skimmed over and fallen branches/rotten logs that could block access to (hopefully) undetected ground. Don't move on from there until you're an expert in that spot and can't even find any more tiny targets. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
