[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 10353, member: 147"] Best tip mate is try and find someone with a minelab PI (Any PI) in your area to go out with you for a detect. Doesn't have to be to a gold field. Check out an old farm or ruin etc, so long as it's at least a few ks out of town so EMI doesn't kill you. Most machines from the 4500 down are basically the same when it comes to learning the basic settings. You'll dig a lot of crap but that won't matter as the aim would be to practice with the settings on targets, and not to find gold. Read the manual a couple of times first to get a basic idea of the functions. Shouldn't take too long for a competent user to show you the basic ropes...Then it comes down to practice and more practice. I'm sure there's a few guys on the forum in your area who could join you on a hunt. Failing that, if ever you head down Canberra way just PM me and and you can join me on a hunt. Cheers Wal. :) [/QUOTE]
