[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 70650, member: 1695"] The most common issue of running these high frequency dectectors in highly minerlised areas, is the temptation to run the sensitivity up way too high, with the mistaken intention of trying to achieve more depth. Sensitivity should be set to suite the mineralisation in that particular area, and to achieve quiet, stable background threshold, sometimes with sensitivity set from a third to halfway setting. Most instructions, in particular the Whites ones written by Jimmy Sierra Normandi, go to great pains to explain this, and as a result, finds should increase, albeit at the expense of some detection depth. Have always loved how the Whites machine were built like tanks, hence why a lot of the older models are still in operation today, and are still picking up gold. On the same token, I am still amazed at how smaller gold can be picked up by the GB2, nothing else on the market has that capability, other than the Falcon MD20, which is not really usable as a stand alone detector. Some of the pieces of gold from pipe clay in the local SA fields found with the GB2, almost require magnifying glass to see them. :D [/QUOTE]
