[QUOTE="Urks, post: 219202, member: 6659"] hi Hevnjohn, congratulations on your purchase a very good machine with the latest technology, simple easy to use following the instructions provide with the machine i found. a couple of things i noticed that may be of assistance, 1) if you are right handed the speaker if you are not using the headphones is on the RHS of unit and is facing away from you so if there is some wind around you may not hear some faint signals, if both of you are walking eg 1 swinging and the other carrying the pick i would suggest for the other person to walk on that side so they to can listen for changes. on the coil if you look closely on the top where it pivots you will see there is a couple of raised alignment marks, check periodically to ensure these are still aligned which will ensure your coil sweep remains flat with the ground. allow the coil to receive the signals back to it as being only 8 " coil if sweeping to fast you can easily have moved the coil past the point before the signal comes back. here in the pilbara i find the spinifex works well to slow the sweep down as you basically have to work in and around the clumps of it but slows things down to get good results. attached is the samples i have found mostly this year with the SDC and the GPZ, with the SDC being very good around salt lakes also. cheers and happy hunting [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/6659/1451961892_gold_2015_minelab_v2.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
