[QUOTE="Bazzwaldo, post: 411557, member: 9582"] Hi Phil001 Please take note you are getting advice from a bloke with 1 season's prospecting experience This may sound a little counter logical but it helped a bloke who asked for help with his new GPX 4500 I've never used anything other than a 7000, I'd been doing alright out at the spot where he approached me but realised I could actually help him Grabbing my rubbish tin, I fished out a small and a large piece of lead shot and gave them to him and said most of the gold ive found is about this size around here, if you can tune your detector to hear the small one, your tuned for gold in the area Off he went and about a week later he spotted me in a caravan park, came over shook my hand and showed me his finds I know bugger all about prospecting, Ive spent 30 years metal detecting though and getting to know how your machine works is for me the second of three steps, the third is mastering coil control, I guess the first is knowing where to bloody look! All the best, keep the fluids up, that's hot weather you're working in mate Bazza :) [/QUOTE]
