Was the noise pulsing, low battery warning took me by surprise once. If not pulsing good advice above.
Did you take it elsewhere away from emf to test?

 

[nicko61]

sorry all, no chance to test it elswhere today,

 

[nicko61]

well bloke (mickybee) decided he could not find time to post it so need a double dd coil still

My extreme has served me well over the last 7 years, though i still much prefer the 2200D i picked up a couple years back lol, so i might be the wrong guy to give advice.
i have limited experience with the 3000, but from everything i hear its a beast.

from what i know the 3000 is just an Extreme with some nice improvements to stability..

Anyway hard to go wrong, hope some of this rambling helps

Hey guys i am looking at getting a bit more serious and upgrading from my xterra 705 into a PI detector. I have used a Minelab gp3000 on one occasion and was very impressed on the size of targets it could pick up, and have heard nothing but good things about them in my research. Are there any recommendations or things to look for when buying a PI?

Cheers

Out of the GP series i would say the GP3500 is my pick.
It was the first Minelab with the green auto balance button that makes it much easier to use.

erfect:
