GOLD Prospectors - HELP !!

Hi to all aboves .....

One of the many uses of our 4WD's is to get us to our CAMPING sites !!
This should now put me On Topic???

And, at said campsites, some of us [weirdo's?] go out gold-detecting ..........
using sensitive metal detectors ............
which then generally detect everything but gold ..........!!!
including the metal eyelets, lace ends, nails, etc IN OUR BOOTS !!

These things are really that sensitive .................
Apart from wearing 'runners'/thongs/bare feet and the like, what boots do YOU use to overcome this problem ???

I detect [ take that with a grain/gram of salt, though?] in rocky/hilly/quartz-ridden country [FNQ], with the added potential for large wiggelund-hissenbiters, sturdy protective footwear is de rigeur!!
As there is limited shopping in my community for sussing this out ..... please help ??

No doubt the Forum has many Members/visitors who have resolved this problem before .............
for the "detectorists" here ...... the problem has only become evident now that I am using my 'dustbin lid' coil !! Bloody thing is so big I almost kick it on every second step .

Thanks ........................ Pedro
