[QUOTE="RobinW, post: 79824, member: 2738"] Keen to get into detecting after lots of panning, l finally bid for a GMT on eBay. The unit l found was a genuine Whites but not originally purchased through the Aussie dealer GoldSearch Australia. After months of detecting and only finding lead and other scraps l thought l was missing something. The gain kept going off erratically even when away from the ground. After a trip to Gold Search Australia in Dunolly, it was found the original owner had fiddled with the settings on the internal computer board. Now the unit is stable and reading small pickers l was having trouble practicing on. I suppose the moral of the story, buyer beware, maybe there is a reason why some deals seem bargains. [/QUOTE]
