[QUOTE="Chewy, post: 325780, member: 4646"] Thanks Shauno and Phil. Not really sure what happened Phil. I could say I was really tuned in to listening for clear repeatable signals, as there was a little bit of ground noise, we raked and moved branches to clear areas that might not have been detected, we used a speaker magnet in a plastic bag to pick up rogue bits of rusty tin cans of which there were plenty to. It might be that the junk put ppl off the spot. Maybe I'm getting to know the 5k a bit better now with some experience and confidence in being able to find helping. All this is true, but I honestly think it was that there was a patch of gold there to be found. Most of the target signals were clear and repeatable. Really obvious to me so it seemed. If you can get the coil over a bit it should let you know. That's how it seemed all week anyway. I'm running 17 gain and putting up with a little noise every so often but it's surprisingly quiet and stable. :) [/QUOTE]
