[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 56757, member: 147"] Soil conditions, especially red clay soils can quite often be hotter than ironstone rich gravels. The 5000 has many timings to cope with a wide range of scenarios, and occasionally it's not just a matter of changing to a "more suitable" timing. Admittedly by running a lower stabilizer the sensitivity can diminish slightly, but running the detector extremely quiet will net you many more nuggets than a noisier alternative timing. I've picked up plenty of .1gram nuggets with a stabilizer set at 3 or 4 in red hot ground. Like I always say...settings are used from personal experiences and if you're getting good gold, stick to what has worked for you. Wal. [/QUOTE]
