[QUOTE="loamer, post: 53015, member: 981"] 4500 and mono coil on noisy ground? try turning the gain and sensitivity back until it gets quiet then play around until you are happy. Try to run it in quiet. Are you using enhance? Try different sized coils etc. If all else fails, wack on a DD and run it as a DD. An issue with the GPX is that for some people, its their first PI - most people who come from the old SDs seem to be far more forgiving of ground noises as they are used to it. Also, you need to be constantly and I mean constantly ground balancing the machine. It will become habit forming in the end. Trash is correct - Dunolly/Maryborough/Moliagul/Tarnagulla are noisy but its the ground that had the bigger shallower nuggets if this is your gold targeting - its highly mineralised with nasty pockets of noisy red clay (some very big nuggets were on this layer of clay and not bedrock). Its the reason VLFs really struggle around here. [/QUOTE]
