Nice work gasco.

Nice that you can rub your sensitivity up that high - mustn't be much EMI around?

I'm assuming ground is too hot for Normal ground mode? Could try Normal with sensitivity way down at 1 or 2 - but you might end up with heaps of hot rocks. Difficult does a great job of knocking out hot rocks but can also knock out gold.

The other thing that is really worth a try is General/difficult - you might just find a few bigger ones (5+ grams) hiding in the dirt you've already been over.

Everything is worth a try - especially on undug targets to see the variation settings make.

It's great that you've given youself a good amount of time there too and not just a hit and run trip.

Good digging to you :Y:

Thanks for your comment Northeast today I was trying some new settings the whole day and it worked pretty well, I went around all the holes I did on my little patch ( which gave me 30 nuggets so far ) and found 3 more nuggets for today.
My settings:
Normal
Audio smoothing off
Sensitivity 20
Volume 14
Threshold 23
Audio limit 4

Very noisy and picked up some hot rocks but you can cover at least 2 or 3 times more ground because I had to swing very fast to be able to hear the break in the threshold in all the ground noises.
And I did some test with a 10 g piece of lead at about 40 cm and the response was a little bit clearer than my last settings

Good Job Bill S :Y: :Y:
I remember a while ago when you were still hunting your 1st Nuggy
Look at You now Nuggys are running your way now :Y:

 

[RM Outback]

Nice collection Bill S :Y:

 

[gasco29]

Very nice Bills I'm still waiting for my first speci, hope I won't have too long to wait

 

[BillS]

Thanks mate seems a while ago now but with the help of a couple of forum members SteelPat and Vstrom I got there. Any decent size still seems a long way off but the total is slowly growing. I was going to chuck it in because I got sick of going alone but I am giving it another go for a while.

Hey Bill S, there's so many of us that get out into the GT on a regular basis, so if you're sick of going it alone, then join us, or post what you're up to and we can join you.
I fully agree - it's a hobby better with some good company to compare notes (and a few reds around the bush telly).

 

[BillS]

Thanks BigWave, I am stuck next week with medical appointments so I will have a week off but will take your advice and thanks.

Well this is me for the weekend

I gave the GPZ a bit of a work out over the weekend tried something different and targeted under
HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES
It was not smooth sailing ........ it was rough as chite when I first started but sort of expected that
So with a lot of trial and error got it running smoother but was still chatty at times :| but usable :Y:
The Bigger Nuggy was 150mm-200mm deep .
The smallest Nuggy was 20-30mm but was not at the same area it was from an area that I smashed with the SDC and still giving
Also got a Iron stone coated nuggy no pic yet its having a bath :Y:

 

[BigWave]

Great Gold there dam it :Y: You picked the right spot, that would have deterred the faint hearted.

 

[Noogle]
