I am good with the rods but the gold is not in one spot like a coin. It is spread out along the old creek at 3 meters below surface. The picture shows a very similar creek. I am currently on the higher bank and not far away is the bend in the creek where I think there will be alot of gold. It is about 40x40 meters area. I will sink a shaft there next week.
Yes the triangle method does work well. I use plastic shopping bags to put the soil into and when the signal disappears from the hole I divine the bags.
I have been told that it is best to use local gold when divining. I did ask a jeweller if he could make me some L rods with my gold and he looked at me with a strange look.
I will keep some gold for a pendulim. Keep it in a small container and use silk string to suspend it.
