I have an old Garrett detector!
I also go everywhere with a pan!
I know of what I term 'a few sweet spots' in very popular and often visited areas?
I visit them often, unless there has been a recent flood, and I am not too late (before anyone else beats me there) I can find the occasional small nuggets with my detector.
I classify a nugget as anything that make you aware of its density when dropped into your hand from 100mm away. So they are not necessarily big or large?
Now this is what concerns me - doesn't anyone use or possess a pan nowadays?
Because no matter when I attend these sites, I can always find a couple of small nuggets and an unlimited supply of what I term flakes.
Get your pans out, they are more sensitive and reliable that any detector; and don't move far before another find, I can spend a full day, continuously gathering small flakes, then suddenly a small nugget; all within 10 metre or so.
I recommend the possession of a pan anytime you step onto a gold bearing area
