[QUOTE="guipago, post: 669292, member: 4170"] I'll throw in my 2cents worth, I got my GM to specifically nose around creek beds with the small coil, I suggest you use the bigger coil as you cover more ground, you won't lose that much small gold, it will get a bit ho-hum using the small coil when after 1hr detecting & you have only gone 5 baby steps, well, maybe a bit more but this can be frustrating, if your getting too much noise out of it (not target noise) drop the sensitivity, it's better to have a quiet detector until you get your ear in, read the links Northeast put up, we are graced to live in a country that is 'hot rock' central & a VLF detector luv's 'em, pushing the top stuff out of your way with a boot (NOT the coil!) will hopefully give you a target to dig, at this stage dig everything, use a notebook & make observations on the tone, what the target is & did it show ferrous or not, it's all info to learn.
