Hey Muk,
I'm up in North Queensland and I run mine flat out, sensitivity on 5 and threshold on max. I am getting a bit pissed off picking up shotgun pellets and small tacks (1mm thick and 3mm long) though. ]
I have no problems picking up the target noises.
I have had a couple of times when detecting for about 3 hours when all of a sudden it sounds like the sdc has a faulty connection somewhere. Not flat batteries. Disconnected the b&z booster with twin speakers and still getting the same problem. The sdc wasn't making any back ground noise but would still go off when over a target. Turned threshold back to 1 then all the way back up and problem solved.
It was a bit disheartening not knowing if it was working properly but after repeatingly finding these small targets I still have full confidence in this little blue hoover. :Y:
Now all I have to do is put it over the top of more gold targets. ]
Cheers
Doug

RH have you put tape around your batteries to take up the slack, because this will cause you problems otherwise.
Wishfull,
Yes I have tape around both sets of batteries. Thought it may have been a battery problem and put the other set in and still had the problem. Not very concerned now that I know the problem can be "reset". If it does it again I will just reset the threshold again to make sure this works.

Yep mine has had connection issues resolved , yet somedays i am convinced it hates me , i really do wonder if its a bad one or if the wthr and ground is just crazy. One thing this does cause is a super education on deciphering the right noises and when it runs smooth i can find gold a pan would miss :lol:Rockhunter62 said:Hey Muk,

We get a few of these little ones. Mrs M has worked out that if she puts a bigger one on first, perhaps a 0.2g then the little one will give a reading.PhaseTech said:
We have the same scales as this but they jump around a bit before settling on a weight. Perhaps they have worn a bit or the mechanism has dried out. I'm looking for smaller good quality set of scales for the little ones.
Good on you Muk, they sure are good at getting the little ones.
Aussiefarmer, I'll just keep using mine as is. It still detects and my season has started. I just have to keep my esky close.arty:
Cheers guys

The smallest has no weight. Found under an overhang and took at least 30 minutes to dig, or should I say scrape the little suckers out, then kept losing them
Today's catch of the day at Durikai (Warwick) Qld.
About 50mm below the surface.
[Not sure why this photo changed orientation or how to fix that]
Running my SDC flat out...sensitivity 5 threshold max...get used to it after a while. Also got one tiny bit of bird shot. SDC gets the samll targets but shite I would like one at a gram or better..so far my Warwick QLD bits (4) have all been under 1 gram. Oh well...keeps me busy when I can get here.
