[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 219492, member: 1916"] So Dan, I'll start by saying I havn't actually found a nugget with my 705 but I have tested nuggets I have found. Don't worry about helping your mate finding gold, all you have to do is walk over a 0.5gm nugget to get a clear signal. The smalller stuff will give a signal but you probably won't be able to identify it without hours of experience and griding an area really slowly. Now for a dose of reality. I can count the number of greater than 0.5gm nuggets I have walked over with a 2300 on one hand so [b]Gold is rare[/b], that being said, the 705 can quickly remove trash in a high trash area, and high trash areas are that way because there was either lots of gold or grog or both. If my 2300 ever broke down I would target high trash areas with my 705 and be hopeful of finding a stray nugget and be certain of interesting relics and be quietly hopeful for some misplaced coins. I would be looking for a NSW holey dollar or sovereign as their value would blast any thought of gold into oblivion. And an old pistol would be just as welcome. [/QUOTE]
