[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 121951, member: 147"] Gpx5000....search mode General or Deep depending on soil type....Timings Normal or Special - Sensitive extra, again depending on location....14" or 16" round NF coil in the Summer, and 18" or max 20" NF round in the colder winter months. Heat can play a big part in the coil size as smooth thresh holds with a big coil and a hot day don't go well together. Played around with a 24" NF for a while but weight and instability on hot days, reduces the hours of "effective" swinging to a minimum. Coil time on the ground is what gets the bigger nuggets more consistently, and swinging bigger than 20", with a quiet threshold, doesn't happen very often....at least not where I swing. :/ [/QUOTE]
