[QUOTE="Jarrod84, post: 499254, member: 11190"] I've been playing with my 600 with the 6inch coil, taken it out 4 times for a couple of hours each time when I dont feel like dragging the gpx out. Found gold every time. The trick is to play to its strengths, you're looking for small shallow gold and that's all. So either work old diggings or look for surface specimens. IMO the 6inch coil is a must for gold. Run it in field 2 to lean more on the high frequencies, recovery speed on 3 so it will still hit good targets while it's being bombarded with mineralized ground. When I turn the sensitivity above about 15 ground noise starts coming in around the 9-14 area, I blank out all those numbers and I can get the sensitivity up to 20 and it handles it great. Gold can basically come in at any number and the shape has more to do with the numbers than the size, most will come in under 10. I run a single tone, dig anything with a repeatable signal. Last time out I found 4 bits for .65g in a couple of hours. Good cheap fun. [/QUOTE]
