[QUOTE="neddy, post: 293250, member: 6979"] My advice is no matter where you go set your machine up with a test nugget. Use something equivalent in size to about 0.5 grm nugget. Pea size! There is no setting suitable for all areas. You have to set the machine up to suit particular area you are in. High mineralised areas can throw your settings up the creek. So it pays to use a test nugget a few times a day to make your machine is set up to the conditions. Your threshold, set that up with a test nugget too. If you have it too loud you will miss nuggets, too soft the same, set your threshold to a tone and level that will allow you to hear small fluctuations and targets the best. Some targets will not give a clear signal and only give a faint flutter in threshold this is where setting it up is the key. [/QUOTE]
