LC76 showing us how its done! Bamm!
After reading about all the sub grammars...and all the sub 0.10's folks seem to be able to find i thought i'd play with some settings at a spot i know is full of sub 0.15grammers - i know this because when i dig some dirt there for panning i regularly find good pickers and a couple of times have spotted them fall from where my pick had hit! Its close to a well worked source.
So i tried most settings i've read on this thread (headphones yep)...incl the v low to no threshold etc. I did find a 0.38gm on HY, Diff, Sens 15, thresh 10. It was all ok with a higher threshold but less clear - this ck has a lot of hot rocks/noises - v hard to maintain a smooth threshold. A setting i have read about with smoothing on high (to make the signal crisp?) i couldn't hear it. I use no smoothing.
As far as the real small stuff - nothing with the 7000 and sure enough i did dig up from the same spots a 0.12, 0.10 and a 0.08....
Not too fazed to not find the 0.10's..good on you to all who do - i surmise perhaps you are on different ground. I had a mates deus there too...not too familiar with it except a bit of park detecting but it wasn't handling the ground in gm power or gold mode and hence missed these small ones as well.
Mostly i run the machine hot. Yep this will lose me the tiny stuff....might switch to low threshold on long days when the noise becomes too much!!!
On another note, i will contact minelab again because several times now when turning the machine on you get NO threshold sound. You get the sound from the buttons etc but no threshold. No matter what you do have to turn the machine off and start again. I raised this with them when i was getting a screen repair...they tested it and all good - as it is with me MOST of the time....its a machine i want to have 100% confidence in and with this recurring issue thats hard....

just realised my computer spell checks minelab to minicab!
