[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 431234, member: 4485"] I'd use the Commander 11" round mono to start off with. It's a good all round coil. Start in factory presets (follow the quick start procedure in the manual). The only change I would make at this point is at number 5 - I would run in fixed not tracking & use the green quick track button on the handle to maintain a good ground balance. Read up on the ground balance section as this is an important part of starting off. You need to be getting it right for the area & be able to maintain it. Also read up on gain & stabiliser settings. Not sure what the ground is like in Mogo but you may be able to adjust these up if the ground is mild enough (or you may need to adjust down if the ground is more mineralised). Once your confident with ground balancing & adjusting gain/stabiliser start looking at the different timings, modes etc. Take your time learning - there's no need to be rushed. Plenty of people have found gold with the GPX in the factory presets or pretty close to them.
