[QUOTE="Jon, post: 13608, member: 717"] Best I got in ironstone was 7 oz's of gold. Hardly any was showing. I check anything that makes a signal. A mate of mine when he started out in the VLF glory days used to throw the ironstone hotrocks away. He was detecting a spot with a mate and they got dozens of them and threw them to the side of the diggings when they did. They got plenty of nuggets but reckoned the hotrocks were just that, hotrocks. A week later his mate called in to see him and showed him a hotrock, ironstone, that had gold showing. He said to my mate that they better go back and check the hotrocks they turfed at the other spot. They did and picked up several ounces of gold inside ironstone hotties that they had discarded.
