[QUOTE="oldtimerROB, post: 371412, member: 8947"] For gold prospecting in the GT, the Impact is a proven performer in the very high mineralization.GOG mode takes over when mineralisation is 100% on the meter and it ground balances every time. I had DI3 running at Wedderburn and it was smoking hot in the tough ground.GEN or all metal mode was also unstoppable but signals are weaker on deeper targets.It does however have a two tone disc.option which picks up hot rocks and ferrous by a low tone.As I dig them all up it has proven to be 100% reliable and no gold has been missed on the low tones. On the Impact false signals can be eliminated by adjusting sensitivity,discrimination and iSAT in a certain order. The Racer 2 would be the next best machine considering its $950 price tag and can also sport the larger 40 cm coil. The Impact is a straight out prospecting machine as well as beach/park usage with the option of fitting the large coil for an extra $350. No reports on forums how the Deus and CTX perform for straight out prospecting,only that they are used mainly in trashy areas around campsites,and also parks and beaches but at twice the price of an Impact they are just simply not in the running.
