Gold and the Complications in Metal Detecting
It was once believed that gold nuggets were sheds from gold containing reefs as they were thought to have been released through erosion. This belief tended to support the idea that gold could also form at depth. Although it is possible for some nuggets to be released from particularly rich eroding reefs, most nuggets are believed to have formed otherwise.
Gold nuggets are formed very near the surface as gold precipitated from solutions from chemical weathering from deeply diffused gold deposits. Even nuggets found at depth are now thought to have originated from their place of formation near the surface. As such, it must be assumed that almost all nuggets of a noticeable size, resting on the surface, would have already been found and that many just under the surface would have been detected. Nuggets that still remain to be found represent a strictly limited and considered a diminishing resource.
So far, China and Australia have high official reports of natural gold. Reports of large nugget finds have been officially recorded but information for nugget finds are limited.
The metal detecting community has added to the confusion and has caused problems. These can be based on the huge number of stories, unfounded rumors and legends that has promulgated all these years. Official reports and activity reports are mixed and to add to the problem, people who have found these nuggets are selling them secretly several transactions never went through official dealerships.
Due to the stories that fuel and burn all these years, many treasure hunters manage to find the time in search for treasure full time and has ventured into medium to large scale search into the forests around the world. Many of these treasure hunters who find nuggets as a hobby tend to hold on to their hardfound treasures until necessary.
Reports in the 90's has propagated that almost all nuggets found has been melted down. During the olden times all gold would have been fashioned into artifacts. During the time of the gold rushes, nuggets did not have any value other than in respect of their gold content. Nuggets were melted and assayed to determine their gold value so that payment could be obtained for provisions, further investment or simply to squander. It is true that possession of gold, other than jewelry or official coinage has been illegal in some countries. The Great Depression and the gold price hike of 1980 saw some nuggets held by state governments, museums and private collectors being melted for cash. Only recently has appreciation of geological rarity, natural uniqueness and nostalgia replaced the greed and fear that determined the fate of nuggets in the past.
The distribution pattern for gold nuggets has vary all these years. It is rare for treasure hunters to find that virgin patch today. Gold nuggets smaller than 2 grams do become harder to find with a metal detector, but that is not the real reason. The real reason is that, nuggets much smaller than 2 grams are more prone to redissolving, and are simply not around to be found in the geological environments that support nugget formation. Equally fine particles that can be panned are frequently absent, and even the results of soil surveys seldom reveal gold enrichment very much above background gold levels. This is not accidental, but an intrinsic part of the nugget formation process whereby smaller particles are remobilized into larger ones. Approximately half the gold in the soil on a nugget patch will be as nuggets above 2 grams in weight.

Canon Sd1200Is - Canon Does It Again!
DISCLAIMER:
- I am a Canon brand loyalist so my review may be perceived as a touch biased by some
PROS:
- Can't get a better ultra-small digital camera for this price
- Very sturdy (I dropped in on paved surfaces a number of times, it's dented from both sides now but still works beautifully)
- Point-and-shoot mode for the novice and quite a bit of room to improvise in terms of functions for a semi-pro or enthusiast
- Takes in an SD card which is WAY WAY more convenient than the older Canon's which require a CF card
- Battery life is extremely long - no need to buy a spare
- Start-up is lightening fast so chances are, you will capture THE moment when you need to (just keep it handy)
- Image stabilizer
CONS:
- Can't really think of any
- If I force myself to make one up, it would be the fact that it's now $30 cheaper than when I bought it.
BOTTOMLINE:
- If you're looking for a highly portable, reliable and sturdy digital camera - and you only trust Canon - you just found it!
Canon SD1200IS - Great Value Camera Vs.Canon's S90 and S790
I have researched a point and shoot cameras for a couple of years. I needed a small pocket sized camera to complement my SLR pro camera and my "bridge" medium sized camera. It's not always convenient or practical to haul around a DSLR, camera bag, etc. Having had a professional DSLR camera for several years, I realized I had to be willing to give up some features and quality in a small point and shoot. However, I was not willing to compromise picture quality and color balance.
I wanted a camera that is adequate indoors as well as outdoors plus have enough manual controls to manipulate the settings per my preference. After evaluating the S90, S780, S790, S200, and the Canon SD1200IS, I have concluded that for the price vs. picture quality and camera size, I selected the Canon SD1200IS. Although the other cameras all cost more - $200 - $400 they are great cameras but the Canon SD1200IS produces just as good of quality pictures, if not better, than those evaluated in this review.
Considering, I am not interested in video ( I have a small camcorder for that purpose) and I wanted the best quality I could get in the smallest camera, my conclusion was the Canon SD1200IS. I would have paid up to $400 for the other cameras. However, it isn't necessary for the features and quality I desired.
Pros about the the Canon SD1200IS
- my experience with the camera is consistent with all of the Amazon reviews I read. Thank you all for giving you feedback and helping me make this decision.
- great small size (fits in my pocket)
- good picture quality (pixelation and color balance). At 100% picture size, there is little pixelation and artifacts. My observations were that the SD1200IS shot at 800 ISO compared to my Canon DSLR (15 MP) at lower ISO yield comparable picture quality.
Hard to complain about that.
- good photos in low light conditions
- Flash reaches over 15 feet in a dimly lit room and produces great natural pictures.
- Battery holds a good charge
- Love the ease of menus that Canon provides
- Ease of use: my 72 year old father good operate this camera (and he is not a fan of electronics)
A few Cons:
- there is a shutter delay when depressing the button.
- the battery door is a bit flimsy
Overall, I am quite pleased with the camera. I'm very glad my search is over.
