[QUOTE="loamer, post: 104683, member: 981"] There are many areas around there you can detect Carmo, you just need to get the modern maps for the area. There are some tricky spots that look like private land that are not and land that looks like crown land and is not. John Tully does decent modern maps for the area - about $20 - in colour. He is usually pretty spot on with crown/private land. Rule of thumb? No fence - its crown land. You raise an excellent point - when people see the word 'shallow' they can think detectable. You are 100% correct - 12- 18 feet was considered shallow! by the old timers. Nice to see some-one has researched vic nuggets. Thats why its big coil country on a PI detector. VLFs - forget it - too mineralised, hence the mongrel red clay. Small coils - maybe snag some tiddlers. [/QUOTE]
