    Distance That Alluvial Gold Travels

    You can always gauge the distance by the gold yr finding, course closer, well worn - further a field. You can also find non alluvial gold in creeks ?? Meaning in stringers, contacts, faults that cross a river or creek. So if your chasing a possible source, you need to follow the gold indicators...

    GPX 5000 Mono Coil Setting

    Hi Dennis, The best thing you can do is test, test & then test some more:) Mono's, Dd's can react differently to different size targets/nuggets & a particular depth. Bury a few different size targets @ around 30cm & use every coil u have, every imaginable settings u can dream up.

    Do big Nuggets travel further from the source than small nuggets

    Too many variables to attach these type distances to a particular type of gold (but fines do travel a considerable distance). Rough nuggetty is "normally associated with gold in Situ, or Elluvial - close to the source

    Do big Nuggets travel further from the source than small nuggets

    Gold on sloped ground will fan out from the source, small to big as it travels down (normally). A pediment will also catch gold - as the gradient changes. The same as river gold, small to heavier from each edge of any obstruction....eg: fines will be around base, larger further away

    SP01 Pouch

    Hello All, This is my first post. Just curious about the new booster SP01. Was hearing that no pouch - comes with the kit (separate). But seeing ROB Detectors in US, claiming that the SP01 that he sells......comes with the booster, cables, *pouch etc etc. Are we getting short changed here in OZ?
