[QUOTE="flashhunter, post: 111875, member: 3787"] I use a 5000 (tracking)when with mates as they have a spare and my F1A4 (no tracking) when alone. I like the wide sweep technique suggested in GG&T . Ive just been scratching it down abit to get closer too the target before deciding if it there or not . It shouldnt track out a good signal maybe just a fringe target. Once you close the distance to the target buy an inch it should sound off nicely and not track out . thats wat ive been doing seems to work ok for me, better than digging holes everywhere for hot ground. But i will never know if Ive missed one :D :D when using my F1 I sometimes hold the grnd balance button in as I swing when the ground is changing quickly. Alway weary it will track out a target thats why i scatch down abit on all iffy signals just to check. It wont balance out a test piece of gold I use so Im pritty confident just getting closer works. maybe! [/QUOTE]
