[QUOTE="Stocky111, post: 504027, member: 15746"] Finally got a couple of days spare and headed out to try the new GPX4500 in the Golden Triangle. Love the balance and feel of the new setup. Managed to swing it all day without too much aches and pains. A bit of a challenge on the first day with ground balancing, heavy overnight rain seemed to have really freshened up the ground. Managed to control it in enhance instead of normal. Found a lot of rubbish targets, also dug a lot of false signals? The second day was better, changed to my 14" elite coil and immediately noticed how much quieter it was. 3 hours later I figured something wasn't right, I'd hardly had to rebalance the ground. A check of my settings showed that the coil switch had moved from mono to cancel! A real beginner error! Check, check and check again. My persistence finally paid off though with my first nuglet, 2.49 grams and a bag of rubbish to dispose of. In all a great time out in the bush, I've learned so much already, and am keen to get out again. Steve [/QUOTE]
