[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 175045, member: 3775"] No Worries Mate, I did find 3 Bits up around Gympie in 2011 with the MXT and the biggest bit was 1.1gm but that was no more that 2 or 3 inches, The GMT I got some tiny bits and tested it and it was Ok Not what I would say Brilliant but they were in the 3 to 4 inch range so I stuck em to some little game counters so I would not loose them and it was pinging them at 5 to 6 inches, but that was normal Town / Farm Dirt, And coins come up really deep there so that's why I did it So Not In Gold baring type ground, But it was more about sensitivity than Depth, I got it seeing bits 0.002gm In the Air at about an Inch +/-. I have 2 normal set Prospecting Scales But I bought A set worth about 1200-$1500.00 that weigh up to 1500gm, Oh well its only money,lol I still need A GPX and the SDC to complete the set because I got a new project coming up in Scotland where I need them all because someone quite some years Back found A Nugget Over 1 kg in weight, And A Mate has just found a real hot spot in Wales and because of the rarity of the Gold there it fetches about 4 to 5 times the going Rate, So I need to get them and get up there, Which is another reason for all the crazy tests I have been doing trying to find an Edge, But I will get there, I have bought 3 machines and 4 coils in the past 2 or 3 months So with these other 2 will give me a machine for every situation, John [/QUOTE]
