If it wasn't for the weather and the sandflies, we'd all be down there joining you. Great to see your efforts are well rewarded.

Using Minelab 4500 I wonder if a Goldbug would bring out a bit more - reason I say this is that my son with his Goldbug has been going over country which he had thought he had more or less cleaned out with my Minelab and we have been amazed at the small stuff he is getting. We now use the Goldbug in association with the Minelab as both have their applications.
