Woodys new 5000 mods supposedly include some work so a GPX will detect small gold like a SDC. When asked if this could be turned off if causing or thought to be causing issues Woody replied:
"It is difficult to turn a mod off, it can be done but it would need fet or relay switching, both methods would create signal loss or noise generated by the relay contacts, switches would also cause noise in the sensitive input part of the circuit. One of the biggest problems that we have with detectors is the coil connectors, the tiny resistance of the contacts actually introduce noise into the circuit."
My take on that is if your not using the mod/s you still don't have your "normal" machine back but I could be reading it wrong?
