[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 252761, member: 4485"] It's perfectly safe to turn on your GPX4500 inside to familiarise yourself with the menu settings without headphones to drive you nuts. Once you get confident with where everything is go somewhere your familiar with & have a fair idea of what to expect from it when you've used factory presets - ideally somewhere you've found some gold before. Take a few small bits & start playing with the different settings etc. & once your happy with how it's going do a run over the area. If you pick up more or deeper in situ gold then you'll know your on the right track but don't be too disheartened if you don't. There may not be anymore detectable gold there or other reasons for not getting more. Playing with settings is all about trial & error + adjusting to suit different areas & the conditions that get thrown up. One way of getting a good idea of what might work for you is to maybe give a general location & what coils you would use then ask if anyone nearby can suggest some. Most here are pretty generous with help on settings & these can be a good starting point to fine tune for yourself too. [/QUOTE]
