We had Geoff from Katherine and his mate John from Canberra arrive on Sun night. Myself and Dale took them out yesterday and assembled their new 5000s from the box. Spent a couple of hours in the morning running them through everything and changing settings etc til it got a bit too hot, (35o). Packed up and i arranged to go out with them in the evening for a bit of night detecting as Dale was tied up. They were great everything was taken on board and although one of the detectors was hard to fine tune for the ground here got there in the end. Geoff got a signal and called me over and i knew it was a deffo . Found his first piece of Yella ! Only a tiny bit but hey first session and finding your first piece in your first 4 hours of prospecting, not bad. Taking em out again tonight to hopefully get John his first piece as well before they head back to Katherine in the morning. Tis a grand feeling to help someone find their first piece ! Especially as they said they were happy to drive all that way just to have someone explain to them how to use the machines and exactly what the settings do etc. Its a big difference in trying to figure it all out from the manual as it looks pretty daunting at first. They will be joining this forum as soon as they get home.
