First gold for 2014 & with the GPX5000

[Guest]

Only been out twice this year & scored my first bits with the GPX5000 + stock 11" mono today.
First trip out to Hill End was a bit of a learning curve. After the first half hour I was struggling to be honest. Never used a GPX before & was having trouble getting it to settle. Was in some reasonably mineralised ground & there were storms brewing in the distance. Glad to say after a quick break & rethink I managed to settle it down to enjoy a couple of hours detecting. No gold but charmed this little fella with my hypnotic swinging :lol:

After seeing how curious this little bloke was I don't know if the pulse would scare a snake away :/

Got out for the second trip today with a local mate who helped me refine my settings even more & the 5000 ran great.
So good I managed to ping a couple of nice little bits - 1 x 1.06gram & 1 x 0.63gram.
