[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 142748, member: 487"] No such thing as a best setting for any area mate, getting the right timing and coil for the job is most important to getting the machine running smooth and quiet, you could start in Normal timing with either a Mono or DD and go from there, if sticking with mono Fine/Gold or Enhance, if going with deeper timings try a DD. This graph is excellent for helping to decide what to run. Unless you already know the soil/ground type it will take a bit of trial and error. That being said the presets work great with a little tweaking. Someone may be able to offer decent settings for the area from previous experience, but try yourself, you'll get a better understanding of your machine. Factory reset is your friend also, I use it regularly. [url]http://www.minelab.com/__files/f/37558/GPX-4500-VS-GPX-5000.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
