[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 50437, member: 2152"] Ok so I'm new very new to detecting, although with the luck of having detected with a few fellas that have good solid knowledge of pi, and gold bearing areas. Loamer my hat is off to you, great info. And i want to emphasis exactly what you said there in that last post....because that's critical in finding the gold, if you are detecting lead, shot and the like, you are infinitly closer to a result. I was out yesterday using a small vlf, and started the "have i got this dialled in right" monolouge going in my mind, and as soon as i dug the first peice of lead i calmed. I scored a .3 gram about half an hour later on high mineralisation about three feet from a large Mullock heap next to a large ironbark. The only downside to the lead is that sinking feeling of the large thud in the earpiece only to miss the yellow. The funny thing is i draw back to the same places every time, because of those little changes each time, the environment changes, settings, machine type, weather, i personally think there's more to those little changes than may be first acknowledged. That's why i believe the so called "flogged" areas still produce. When I've been out in the past i see recent diggings in the mullochs, i always detect them thoroughly. My training is that gold is there, someone else who may have pulled a nice nugget may have been less than careful after success and it may have been their last target for the day, .
