[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 615819, member: 3820"] Hi Andy, the last couple of Winters when I used to head out for a detect I found that when I was swinging over really wet saturated ground it was a lot noisier than the 6000 is, probably the settings I was running on my 4500 at the time, but I would spend a lot of time fiddling with my settings trying to get it stable enough to run on that saturated ground so I'd just walk away and look for ground higher up that wasn't so wet. The 6000 is still noisy over the saturated ground in highly mineralised areas, Maryborough and Bendigo for example but I'm finding it easier to decipher the difference between ground and target response. Last Thursday afternoon I spent 3 hours detecting a couple of km's from the NGH camp area, Tuesday I was in the Whipsticks after work, able to run no problems and you local guys know how saturated the grounds are. That's just my experience so far and maybe it's because I wasn't so good with my settings on the 4500, but the 6000 definitely handles the wet ground. [/QUOTE]
