[QUOTE="oldtimerROB, post: 360836, member: 8947"] Went out yesterday to a surfaced area south of Maryborough where 37 years ago me mate found a 1 kg. nugget.Dug 70 holes and found nothing.If anything I am getting lots of exercise at 72 but clearly I can see I am chasing rainbows with the all metal mode.Camped out and it was minus something overnight.GT true to form. Saw a squashed steel drink can on the ground near this surfacing and it registered fairly loud at a puny 12 inches in air and then got weaker. Switched to DEEP mode and it registered loud at a more respectable 24 inches.Buried a 1.5 inch diameter ball of chocolate foil in red clay in the middle of the surfaced area in an 8 inch hole and compacted the soil.GEN gave a decent shrill signal.Deep was getting a strong signal 12 inches above the ground. After that saw it was no contest. [/QUOTE]
