[QUOTE="bob, post: 331824, member: 628"] Wendesday 10th May. Well I worked hard and got a few ticks on the job list and managed a trip back to Mystery Reef. I started around 10 o'clock and the 10x5" seemed a bit erratic and hard to balance. I searched around the areas of my three previous finds. I seemed to be digging a lot of false targets. I took a break for some lunch at 2.30pm. I was a little frustrated with the way the detector was behaving. After lunch while going through the start up I noticed that the audio was on fine. Not sure how I overlooked this at the start of the day but it explained the morning session. This is not a good search mode as fine audio can sharpen the signal from hot rocks and make them sound more like a target. For the next two hours the detector operated as usual and I managed to locate a number of small targets mostly lead. It was disappointing to waste half the day with a silly mistake. Just thought that I would post this journal entry to highlight the fact that not all days go to plan and some care should be taken when setting up. Also in mineralised ground don't use fine audio as a search mode. Cheers Bob. [/QUOTE]
