[QUOTE="cjam, post: 537836, member: 17247"] Mungomeg, I would stick with Fine Gold, (I know that EVERYONE has their favourite settings with the GPX) rather than Enhanced. I've found that, with Enhanced, there is a lot of attenuation of the signal, and I've experimented with targets. In Fine Gold, the target is quite clear, with Enhanced, sometimes you hear nothing. I found that you can't really run the 5000 in Normal, within the GT. For me,(coming from the SDC), with the 5000, I found a need to continually ground balance the thing. Running in Fixed, of course. And when you get a repeatable target, scrape the top layer off, and ground balance on the scrapings. If you still have a repeatable signal, it's worth digging. But a lot of the time, it's just ground noise. The SDC seems to cope with ground noise a little better. Cheers, Chris [/QUOTE]
