I think I know the problem,

1. Gold (Iron Reject)
2. Deep All Metal
3. Junk Mode

Sensitivity: 12+ Everything under the Sun

Mate, you just selected the wrong mode that's all!

Better luck next time mate. Jokes aside, I recently hiked around 7km to a spot on private property (owners permission) thinking it would be pretty much untouched by recent activity only to get there and find so much rubbish, campfires full of tins and glass, loads of spent rifle cartridges laying around and worst of all smashed bottles in the river, the glass was still razor sharp not water-worn. Was too far to lug it out but I took what I could up off the banks or the river, and buried it in what seemed a good spot.
 
thanks guys
myself and reefer are heading out on Tuesday for a 6 hour drive to a place i used to pan as a kid (and ride motor bikes)
it has a mining lease (for the last 50 years) on most of it but we are heading through to the river so no problem to them
gates are locked but i went to school with the owner as he has left me a key
it is also known as a fossil area as well

Takes dedication not to just cherry pick everything.

Some great finds,and cleaning up the area!

Respect digging bro!

Just acquired my gold monster coz the price was right(as in credit over time=free).

I take back some of my harsh words,it's a fine bit of kit for the price. :Y:
 
Nice,i'm looking at the nox800 & kruzer eventually for something ID based.

Old BH works great,but that numerical ID is a definite advantage in some places.
 
another day walking the beach only to find rubbish and a 5c piece
i am going to have to go further south to some of the other beaches
