Hi Littleazza, when you go out into the bush, air test your machine first. you may look like a dick doing this, but believe me it does need to be done. turn on machine and press the black button next to the threshold. The machine will beep and go thru its automatic frequency search.
move around in 360 degrees with machine facing up in the air, this will detect the most crapiest area and will bark and whoop as u move around. you are finding the most noisiest area, then this happens for 60 seconds, then it will beep 3 times, then put coil just off the ground and press the quick traks button on your handle and pump coil three times, just off the ground, then on the last pump, place coil on ground and hold there for a couple of seconds.
your threshold should be around 12-1 o'clock and you should hear a slight whirring noise, and that's all
now on the front i have the following
GB; Fixed
Coil RX; DD or Mono in your case it will be mono
Soil; Enhance
Search Mode; General
Threshold 12 - 1 O'clock
Menu settings on other end of machine
RX gain i set to between 10-13 factory setting is 10
motion slow
audio normal or deep
stabilizer 10 to 8
special fine gold
To get Fine Gold working (more sensitive timing than Enhance) you need to select special on the front end cap under Soil Timings).
Tone; I use 63
GB Speed; Medium (only has an impact after the forced GB which lasts 3 to 5 seconds after triggering the Quick Trak button)
Response; Normal
If you are gonna use head phones
volume 12
target 8
Fine Gold, Enhance and Sens Smooth are what is known as a "Smooth Class" of timings, these three timings allow the use of a monoloop coil in heavily mineralised areas, Sens Smooth is the least sensitive to small targets of the three with Fine Gold being the most sensitive.
Look some people don't air test all the time, but we do, when we go out when starting it up. If it becomes chatty, over hot ground, then do the air test again or go to settings and say for example yr frequency is 220, then go up one or one down.
Your machine is that smart, you can store settings for 3 lots. say you are over near us at whipstick, or near your place. but see how you go, as if you fiddle too much, you will miss the gold.
Also don't put it on iron discrimination. make sure that is off on the machine.
Hope this will help you out
Cheers
