   Looks like their on it.   I think I would go about it a little different tho.

Push the overburden off to the side of the pay dirt.

Detect the pay dirt in place.  Re scrape hauling scraping to wash plant until all pay dirt is depleted.

Use existing pit to continue along trend until new pay dirt is exposed.

Push all the washed waist and over burden back in the hole and work new exposed pay dirt.

That would save a pile of material handling from the way there going about it.  Looks like there moving the Pay dirt three times when they only need two. 

Maybe there making up for it in Material being processed ? Sure seem like a lot of Escalator and Truck time and fuel.

Hello
Maybe the idea of spreading the pay dirt on top of the surface ground is to help the one metal detector person detect?
Thank you for the interesting clip.

That's a cool video. I noticed the metal detectorist was wearing a bug net. I can see why the run of the mill detector would not work in all that iron soil.

Hello
One assumes that the detector being used  has 5 to 30 different frequency's with a chip to over see all the different input frequency's. 
This may slow the detecting down some but one should be going slow any how.
Can one 'track out' "hot rocks'" very well in this type of iron rocks?

 Looked like one of the MINLAB Pi Machines.  No Multi Freq stuff.

Interesting video, and a side of the hobby I haven't really looked at.  Do people think the new high frequency coils and software for the XP Deus will mean more gold hunters using them?  They certainly seem to be aimed squarely at that area of detecting.

Hello
No one detector will read or see all gold nuggets and is a good way to screen the 'Lay' of the nuggets in the 'Pay dirt' so almost any detector will work.  The type and amount of iron in the ground will be a big factor on reading or seeing the nuggets in the 'Pay dirt'.  Good idea to run all of the 'Pay dirt' through a wash plant.

Have not looked at the new high frequency coils yet what is the frequency range of these coils?
One may want to use more then one type of detector for different size targets.

Hello
The "25 Liters of diesel burned per hour" cost is not at the hobby level of prospecting.

The new coil frequencies are 15khz 30khz and 55khz.  They are white coils as opposed to the standard black and primarily it is expected that these are for the Deus Goldfield programme.
