[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 161799, member: 4485"] We definitely all miss some. Went over a little surfaced area again last week that I'd got a few grams off & picked up 6 more little nuggets. It had been after some rain so thought it was worth another try. Only got 2 x birdshot which was a first - more gold than shot :lol: Previously I had got possibly hundreds of shot off there though. Yesterday I was at a spot that I hadn't got gold from before. Thought I heard a very faint noise but then dismissed it as I had been getting a few hotrocks here running on setting 4. A bit further on I picked up 3 bits running in a line from the original "noise". Went back & persevered a bit more & a little 0.21 bit came to light. It was only about 2" deep but in some nasty looking red rocks & soil. I think mindset has a part to play too I.e. if the original "noise" had been somewhere I had found & knew gold was I may have initially investigated further but as I hadn't found anything before & was starting to doubt the spot it was easy to dismiss as a hotrock or slight ground noise. Once I got the others the mindset on that spot changed quickly :lol: [/QUOTE]
