[QUOTE="loamer, post: 37590, member: 981"] Maiden Gully? I'd have a look, check for rubbish and then if too bad put a DD on and run iron reject for a while. On my 4500 a setting of 2 or 3 seems to do the trick - I guess the 5000 would be similar. If I hit some colour with the DD then I sort out the mess and then re-hit the same area with a mono. For really bad areas when patch hunting, I carry about a dozen plastic red (pick a colour) tent pegs and mark the ferrous junk - helps in visual gridding. Then move onto the next area. I have heard of people using metal pegs - hmmmmm. Seen a lot of people with monos walk away from rubbishy sites (myself included) because of the noise. I now always try and carry an 11" DD in my day pack if I head into rubbishy areas. Possibility of carrying a smaller DD I guess. Had to laugh at your profile list - I noted the missus came last on the list. My grandkids say to me "Pop - you have three great loves in your life - us, VB and Collingwood FC and not necessarily in that order'. [/QUOTE]
