[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 83102, member: 206"] I got my bits on both the flats and in the washouts. All I can say is go slow and then slow down. Coil sweeps should be multiple passes over the same patch of ground. With my 8" coil I think I moved forward about an inch per swing. Crank the gain/sensitivity and investigate every noise. Keep an eye out for the quartz, there is some really nice bits of citrine and smoky quartz rock crystal out there! Once you find some shallow ground in the washouts really slow down. If there is water in the dams maybe consider a pan of the sands off bedrock. [/QUOTE]
