Symmetrical diamond in the center of the field. Maximum coverage (16 neighbors), ideal for triangulation.

Offset cross focusing on central columns. Excellent for detecting vertical gold clusters.

Diagonal across the entire field. Effective against diagonal gold cell placement.

If two cells with gold outlines point to one cell — there's almost certainly gold there.

Cells with gray/red borders show where NOT to search. Save moves!

Corners provide little information (2-3 neighbors). Start with central cells (4 neighbors).
