[QUOTE="wiley coyote, post: 654568, member: 7587"] Often when you get a broken signal like that it could be a large deep nugget, and the erratic signals you are getting could be that the whole nugget is almost out of range of your detector, and you are only picking up the higher parts of the nugget. As you dig deeper , you'll start to get a more solid signal as you get closer to the nugget. This also applies to specimens, as a big, deeper piece gives off that same sound, as you're again only picking up the strands of gold closest to the surface. I've had another listen to the video, and I reckon it's a target, and if it's a nugget, it will be a large nobbly rough piece. Big specimens sound no different from a bent nail, or a piece of wire. wiley. [/QUOTE]
