Been trying different types of rods and what works best for me so far are spec C11000 copper rods with silver wire wrapped on end. I've ordered C101 copper rods as from
what I can find online they are the purest at 99.999. Have a bucket of black sand with very fine gold flakes and a couple of small nuggets that the rods had a strong response to.
Before spring & summer arrive I'll be downstairs learning how to reads all of the responses. On the claims I'm looking for old ancient channel and if the rods can pick up water
away from the main creek that would be a bonus and a place to starting digging.
Any tips, suggestions are welcome and appreciated ........

Lightweight bronze L-rods (easy to make yourself) with copper wire wrapped around work great also (maybe get you a couple pics of mine later)
