[QUOTE="PeterInSa, post: 346279, member: 6627"] Years ago, mate had a great signal out of Laverton WA, dug it out turned out to be a big ironstone rock about 30cm in Diameter, put his coil over the rock, a big blast in his earphones and then silent. His detector was Kaput. Phone ML and they said send it back to Adelaide, most likely the front end amp has been overloaded and is the problem ( from memory). 2 weeks later we had the detector back, went back to the rock, broke it down to small pieces and it was all ironstone.( Did not crush it to powder and pan it) The detector was either a ML 3000 or an early 4500. I would be wary of turning a gold machine on near big metal objects Peter [/QUOTE]
