[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 493030, member: 3820"] I did this exact thing on Saturday, I had an area of 1x1 foot with a wide ground noise but just the hint of a warble in the middle, I scraped about 1" off and had the same ground noise but still that slight warble in the middle, I called it for that orange/pink slatey sandstone rock that signals nicely on the GPX, so I scraped another 1" off the top to reveal exactly that, the orange/Pink sandstone rock :mad: Normally I'd back fill and walk away but I was determined to be very thorough this trip so decided to dig out the rock to be 100% sure and yep the rock still signalled out of the hole but the 0.85g piece of gold that came out with it signalled better ;) So.....I learnt a big lesson on Saturday, I have no doubt I've walked away from a gold target more than once believing it was the ground noise around the target......I won't make that mistake again :8 Dig everything until you are 100% sure what it is :Y: [/QUOTE]
