Lee this is the set up I was using , but like I said the 2300 was way to sensitive for this set up to work , shame cause it works v/well with 5000

When I had the 4500 I ran a fully UN-Wired, wireless detector the battery back then was a Nikon 7.4v battery to hard to explain what I did and how , I sold that set up with the 4500 never bothered to re-make something to suit the 5000 dont asked my why LOLrc62burke said:Hey Marty
Interesting looking gear, I get that it is not useable on the SDC, but you have got my attention on how you use it on your GPX, what battery do you use? what type/ make are those units? so many questions need answers, I think there will be a lot of interest in this set-up.
cheers

On another occasion EMI from 220kV poles on an adjacent ridge was initially a problem but the manual tune function buffered it out sufficiently to find subgram gold on a known patch.
I have also had it running within a metre of telecom lines but can't claim that I have found gold in super close proximity. A GPX owner said he couldn't work the ground within 10m.
I believe the SDC can work ground a GPX can't but does it have limitations when it comes to very HV ? Bang out enough EMI and I guess it does. It would be good, over time, to produce a table of effective working distances.
Exactly the same at my place. I will be going out of my way in the next couple of weeks to try the SDC under power lines away from town to see the effect.Retirement Stone said:I ve had no issues at Nundle, Hill End or Sofala directly under power lines. Matter of fact I deliberately followed them thinking other detectors may not have been able to go near them. Still did not find anything worth reporting though.
But at home the SDC does not like the power lines in the street which look pretty heavy duty, 1/2 inch thick with 4 cables. But the Xterra 705 is not affected and runs quiet as.
I guess it depends on the voltages carried by the power lines and the distance to any sub stations?
What Heatho said about EMI saturation. Every device will have a failing point.

Was wondering if the knuckle cover would be better fabricated out of thick leather as this would protect but also allow movement of the coil ?
