The long weekend coming up I'm not sure if I am going to try my luck at either Fryerstown oit back of Castlemaine, or around Inglewood, Wedderburn area. Having grown up around Castlemaine I was always riding my dirtbike around "The Monks" which has now become a national park and been ravaged by many a prospecter. So it's now more so about finding places that are probable with a good chance for some results. If anyone is able to guide me with some location ideas where I could try I'd be more than thankful.
The main question I would like to ask of the more experienced detector users is; I have a GPX4500 and even though with the standard 11" Mono Coil I get quite good response. I also tend to run the 19" N/F Evo Coil most times when conditions permit me to do so. I am finding that for smaller pieces the 11" seems to pick up response signals more-so than the 19". Are there any specific settings that anyone has found using this combination that are good all round setting keeping depth and sensitivity to the sub gram targets ??? So far I have found either depth or shallow smaller target response but not both. Any previous info in regards to this would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Olly.
 
G'day Olly there is a Vic GT meet up next weekend you'll need to get your post count up to 10. Once you hit the magic number you'll be able to PM anyone who's going you'd be more than welcome to join them. I'm unable to attend so can't offer much more than this.

So get busy posting and make contact. The invite is in the Members section which should be available for you to read once you hit 10 post's.

All the best either way you go.
 
Hi Olly.

As RM has highlighted there is a meet up at Maryborough next weekend.

The details are in the meet up post.

I believe there will be a few of us there with the 4500, happy to show you what works for me if you can make it.

Anthony.

What machine you swinging there ?
GPX 4500 with the Evo 19" N/G mono, or the standard 11" mono that came with the detector. However as you will be more-so aware than I, that depends upon terrain and conditions.
