[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 362274, member: 3149"] Any target can potentially be tracked out if you sweep over it enough times while in Tracking, it's just a lot easier with a very small target at depth and in particular in mineralised ground. You'll mostly want to be in Fixed and just re-balance regularly with your quick trak button. If you find your regular rebalances are not keeping up with ground changes then you may want to use tracking. Now the danger is that both ground and targets can be tracked out. Generally speaking, ground will track out very quickly, targets take longer. But if it sounds good you'll be pick in hand and digging before that happens. Scraping a few inches of ground off will usually tell the story. Basically if you get a good signal you dig it. Never try to track it out. It's only after you've dug several hot rocks or hot pockets of ground that you may want to re-assess things. [/QUOTE]
