Hi Dan 77raider,
I have a story to tell you which corroborates the 'flaming' phenomena.
When I traveled to spend some days with my friend who has a Mineoro PDC 210, we located a lot of gold veins in his region.
One day, our car got stuck on a hole in the middle of a remote place, and we spoted a farm far away. We decided to walk to the farm and asked the farmer if we could spend the night, since it was dark already. He was a really humble and simple person and agreed imediately. He had his wife to make coffe for us and even helped us to transport our things from the car. As soon as we got to the house, in the middle of a huge landscape, just for curiosity, I unpacked the PDC and did a quick search when all of a sudden it beeped towards a particular direction. As it was dark, we decided to investigate it in the next morning with day light. Later that night when we were getting ready to sleep, the farmer told us that he lived there for years and many, many times he watched a 'fireball' hovering the slope of that hill and disappearing when on ground. Exactly the same direction othe detector beeped. My friend who has a huge experience due to living all his life in places like this, and has watched this phenomena several times before, turned to me and said: 'do you wanna bet there's a gold concentration up there and the veins spread?'
Next morning, this time he grabed the PDC and followed the beeps to a dark huge rock partially coming out of the ground about 600 feet away.The gold concentration was there and the PDC easily indcated the veins spreading to the sides. He talked to the farmer for a working contract and last week he told me gold was found at 35 meters deep.
Unfortunately I still did not have the FG80 which I received days later after my return.
Although the PDC detected many sites, the FG80 which is capable of a much more distant detection, would have marked many spots the PDC missed.
Well, that's alright. I'll be going there in the end of this year for even more fun.
