[QUOTE="Goldfield Joe, post: 144152, member: 3537"] I would be interested to see who (in hindsight) thinks they may have left a nugget lying in the ground because of the target signal it gave. Anyone who has walked away, thought about it, gone back and dug it to find it was gold all along? I met two men yesterday in my area (Avoca Vic) who showed me a nice little one grammer they dug that morning, near some old workings. They said they almost wrote it off as trash and I asked if it gave a low tone... Nope, a high tone apparently and they were going to leave it??? :o :o I'm sure I have probably walked away from gold. After my experience yesterday, I am going to "dig all" again, lesson learnt! [/QUOTE]
