[QUOTE="Bullwinkle, post: 536526, member: 9564"] G'day there, I'm looking at setting up some permanent test holes to play around the settings on my 7000. Has any one got any recommendations on depth of the holes & size of test pieces that I should use to get the best testing? I was thinking of setting them up permanently, so thinking about using lead as the test pieces. Given the weight differences between gold & lead (19.32 versus 11.34 g/cc). Would I adjust the size of the lead sample be same size as the piece of gold that I'm substituting it for? i.e. If I wanted to simulate a 19.32 piece of gold I'd use a 11.34 piece of lead as my test piece? Or would it be much better if I didn't set up a permanent test site & just used gold? Best regards Bullwinkle [/QUOTE]
