[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 412624, member: 487"] If it's running too chatty you are bound to miss gold, sometimes you're listening for just the slightest shift if the threshold, try running on sens 2 or 3 and threshold 3-4, you won't lose any depth, you might actuially be able to hear deeper targets due to having a more stable detector. Those tiny birdshot are quite easy to hear, some tiny nuggets give nowhere near as strong a signal. Also try doing sweeps of the coil at around 5 to 10 seconds and gently scrape the coil on the ground. You'll get some gold eventually if you're detecting around old diggings and surfaced areas, old mullock heaps around diggings are very good spots to try. [/QUOTE]
