[QUOTE="Roscoe, post: 41805, member: 1615"] I hope you don't mind, but why you are on the subject of fine gold. I took the GPX5000 out to a quiet spot a few kilometres away. I set it up SM- general, Fine gold, motion-slow, fixed GB, rx gain-FP, Stabiliser-FP and all the other settings-FP, Did a Auto tune and then manually fine tune channels. Ok, I placed a small piece of flattened lead shot #7 i think? it would way at least .1 grams? I could not pick that piece up. I raised the gain and stabiliser and still would not pick it up using 11" mono coil. I even rubbed the piece on the side of the coil near windings, nothing. I then placed two pieces together and hammered them together and only then did i just receive a signal. I gave a piece to a friend and he could not pick it up with his 5000 or so. With all of this talk about the good old SD2200 picking up fine gold, what am i doing wrong? If i get a chance i will weigh the piece on my powder scales. :( [/QUOTE]
