[QUOTE="Ward69, post: 500298, member: 12603"] What to hear a funny, couple of weeks back, came across a nice semi retired couple. He was using a SDC with the new large coil and the wife a Minelab 1000. I had with me 5 small sub grams in a bottle placed on top of ground. Guess what found them, yep 1000. SDC didnt pick it up. Change the settings to 5 and flat out Yep no signal, I then place the bottle down in the ground 5 maybe 6 cms. Both couldnt pick them up. I ran my SDC over it and bang clear as a bell. So meaning of the story, buy a small test nuggetlet from the Ballarat gold shop or eBay for $5 to $10 dollars and test it each time you go for a walk. Ive seen so many people who havent tested their detector and walking for hours only picking up lead, wondering why theres no gold. Because you already walked pass it. Had my say now. Good luck.
