[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 226272, member: 4485"] Not being picky here as I know your new to detecting but a couple of things: - detecting in creek beds most people will opt for a smaller coil (or a suitable VLF with discrimination in junky areas) & the stock 8" coil would be better suited IMO so your thinking to refit it for this area would be a good idea. - a lot of detectors will pick up small rusty bits of iron & 1.8gram bits of lead. Don't get too excited about that - the real test will be finding gold on mineralised goldfields. All good PI detectors will "see thru" large rocks etc. Yours probably isn't doing anything amazing due to the mod. Good to see it's helped you to work out where the heavies will collect. - hopefully the seller gave you a fix for the headphone issue? One thing I overlooked mentioning before was making sure you "squeeze" the headphone jack to get get the correct fit to the machine. - did he say why he upgraded to a new machine after a short time with the modded SDC? I'm guessing he's got a GPZ now? [/QUOTE]
