Hi PMac77, Settings I use for 5000, pretty much stays the same for all the coils I use. I turn down the RX gain if I use the bigger coils 14-18 inch. Note: I use booster amp so target vol 3. Would be higher if I use head set. Detector settings GPX 5000 Back light. Off Vol limit. 2 GB type...

Hi Madtuna, Keep an eye out for these blokes. Have a look at this link.. read a couple of items down there are two gold mine stories.. The Tennant Creek mine is average 40gm per ton of dirt. If your figures start to look like these then you don't have to worry about old farts like us heading...
