[QUOTE="Jim., post: 36860, member: 337"] Hi all, Zuke, if you want to find sub grammers with a Minelab PI buy a 5000 (tounge slightly in cheek) don't target sub grammers with your 3000, get a decent size mono, and get a lightweight 7.2v battery set up(I'm sure the 3000 has an in built regulator) Run the 3000 in Deep-Enhance keep it in Tracking mode, run your Threshold so you can just hear it. If you get a target (and you will) switch the Tracking off, retrieve the target, switch Tracking back on and away you go. It's important to practice in the field (no air tests or sub gram coil rubbing please) it will only confuse the issue of trying to find a set up that works for you.The 3000 is a very capable machine and with practice they're deadly on the gold, big or small. I have a tester in an old film cannister (probably a gram) that I throw in front of me to make sure everything working right. This is good for the soul when your having a quiet day. Hope this helps, no offence intended :) Jim & Kerrie [/QUOTE]
