[QUOTE="oldtimerROB, post: 346443, member: 8947"] Thanks for your imput Nenad.I really like the Impact from its looks and solid feel, and its good stability on the goldfields.I haven't spent enough time with it to find gold due to the cold nights which makes camping out unsuitable.When I first tried the unit I made the initial mistake of watching too many videos from Europe and cranking the gain up to 85,especially in D.2 and D.3 and was digging false signals but still some buttons and lead sheet.On the second time out I was using GEN mode with default settings and 20 Khz. Third time out I was using the same but disc. set to 01.That way I could get a low tone for hot rocks and iron and not have to dig up all the signals.I do though still dig up half the signals although they are faint without ID just to make sure I am on the right track and because I am still in the learning phase.Last time brought home a hot rock which felt very heavy for a hot rock.I went out checking the goldfields around Smythesdale and Scarsdale but the tracks were all waterlogged and the areas covered with dense growth or pine plantations which make the old diggings unrecognisable.
