[QUOTE="goldwright, post: 221898, member: 4651"] Mate are you running in tracking or fixed ground balance? sounds like a ground balance issue. In a lot of the ground around gold sometimes you need to ground balance every couple of metres. One handy tip is when you get a bit of ground noise in fixed and you know it is ground noise ground balance over the top of that ground noise and this can help the 5000 iron out a little bit. When in really hot ground I run in tracking and then use the quick track button when a target is located so it can't balance yellow out. End of the day in some ground you are never going to get a stable machine without killing the 5000 capabilities and read your manual back to front so you know what each setting does and you will learn what settings are required for what ground types.
