[QUOTE="Hotrob, post: 141983, member: 4136"] Could someone who has experience with the SDC please give me some advise. I was told on my Minelab training day when I bought my SDC to run the threshold just above the lower settings. I have done this & found a lot of lead shot so I know this works but the other day while out swinging I met a fellow prospector & after a bit of chat he asked why I was running the threshold so high. I explained that I was a total newbie & that was what I had been told to run it at. He told me that he also used an SDC & was quite experienced with it. He said to turn the threshold right down & run it silently (then when you hear a noise... you have a target). I tried it & imediately found more lead shot so I know his theory works & it was a lot easier to use as there was very little noise apart from the targets. So what setting should I run & why????? Because I found small shot with the SDC running silently I tend to lean towards his theory but is there something I'm not aware of that could cause me to walk over the elusive GOOD stuff. Any advise please. Rob. [/QUOTE]
