[QUOTE="Nugget, post: 350387, member: 3"] Hi Peter, Unfortunately, many parts of Nundle are just too mineralised for the GM. I was dealing with constant ground noise and picking up on hot rocks left right and centre, both in the auto and manual modes. You can dial back the sensitivity to make it run somewhat quieter, however in my opinion it starts to dumb the machine down so much that you might as well not bother. In saying that there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that the GM is a great detector for the price, in fact I was quite impressed with my air testing of small nuggets, but if you're wanting to run a VLF around Nundle I would be going with something in the lower frequency range with more functions to overcome such conditions. Also, the GM is a no go when it comes to coin and relics due to it's high sensitivity and lack of discrimination settings. I spent 10 mins locating a thin match head piece of aluminium down at the local park, packed up and went home lol. An AT Gold might be better suited to your needs, or even the new AT Max when it arrives next month. Cheers, Nugget [/QUOTE]
