A quick question or two, if you don't mind.

What settings were you using, and what was the Ground Balance phase report? Also, out of curiosity, do you have the smaller coil to try in that area?

Hello monte
the settings i was using was boost mode; sens. 85 id mask 10 everything else standard. yes i have smallcoil but forgot to bring it. gb # is between 75-80 at this spot. .
thanks
 
Your settings sound about like what I would use with the FORS or Racer, and I know some readers might find it interesting that a motion-based Discriminate mode was used instead of a "traditional" use of the All Metal mode. Honestly, I have used a motion Disc. mode more often than All Metal mode for a long time, when the detector provides a low-enough Disc. setting. That goes back to the Compass Gold Scanner Pro, which had a 'Vari-filter' [size=small](3-filter)[/size] circuitry design and a Zero-Disc. capability, and then the original White's MXT to the current MXT All-Pro which also just happened to be a so-called 3-filter design with Zero-Disc. capability. I also used an old Gold Mountain Technologies GMT-1650 or Cobra which had Zero Disc. adjustment.

I have a couple of potential Gold Nugget producing sites that I hope to hit this year with my FORS Co-Re and Racer, but they haven't been as productive for me in the past as what you're hunting. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky at a site or two in Eastern Oregon this year for a change.

Best of success on your next trek afield.

Hello monte
Yes alot of places i use fors gold i run in boost mode i.d. you can run in all metal but it is really noisy even with ground tracking on. and usually have to reduce sens. but in boost mode you can crank it up. only a little chatter from minerals, but even tiny signals come thru loud and clear. my partner uses gb pro and also has to run in i.d. You say you live in oregon. there is lots of good pocket gold workings there. should find something good around sw oregon.
Also pic of some of the mineralization at gold patch this last weekend
