[QUOTE="Dean Mortimer, post: 644552, member: 15032"] Your coil might need replacing. Minelab has a fault with all GPX 6000 coils. there is no padding inside the coil so every time you swing the coil the wiring gets knocked around inside and slowly tears off the very thin aluminium shielding to the point the coil becomes excessively noisy. I have been through a few coils myself. Wet ground it also doesn't like. Dry red clay is not an issue, if you get a lot of noise when red clay is dry get your coil tested as its probably defective which over happens in time to all GPX6000 coils. Also I have found the GPX6000 will track out targets very quickly regardless of settings used. Only way to bring them back is by ground balancing, but a few sweeps over the target again and there gone again. [/QUOTE]
