[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 47862, member: 1695"] One thing I noticed using the WOT coil on the XT17000, its pretty sensitive to EMI and would give off a pulsing signal anywhere near the house. It is especially bad if the sensitivity is cranked too high, and if using boost. Needless to say, I had a go in the yard ensuring there was a smooth threshold away from the house, and picked up some very small springs at about 10" down, so was pretty happy with that. Tried the GM3 over the same hole, and picked up multiple targets (small bits of metal) that the the WOT wouldn't pick up on, but that was expected being 50kHZ vs 6.4kHz, it's an amazingly sensitive detector though. The signal from the small springs was an ever so slight peak in the threshold, tried a 2.4 gram nugget buried in the same hole, and got a slight drop out in the threshold, followed by peak, repeatable both directions. The XT is not exactly a feather weight detector, and is pretty damned heavy with the WOT fitted, definitely a candidate for hip mounting, I could imagine it would be the same for the Eureka. :) [/QUOTE]
