[QUOTE="Dean Mortimer, post: 644561, member: 15032"] I don't run GPX6000 in auto/auto+. I just run it on the 1st block with threshold and volume at 2 or 3 notches depending if there's wind or a lot of exterior noise. Auto/auto+ gave to much mineral noise, hot-rocks and the silent threshold mode made many targets undetectable - with threshold some were present but the noisy chatter in threshold still mask some deeper targets. I have found you can track out targets (Minelab says it doesn't but it does) so ground balance often every few steps. EMI button may have to do several times to get a good channel. Doesn't like wet ground, even with 14DD. Dry ground no problems. Had a few faulty coils which stuff up overtime due to poor design. A friend of mine can't use GPX6000 because he has high frequency hearing loss. It doesn't matter if its on silent threshold mode or with threshold he can't hear most target unless the target inverts. If there was low tone threshold he could hear the changes much easier like he does on his SDC. High tone threshold he can't use because he can't hear high pitch signals. I guess Minelab made the detector for "selective people" only. [/QUOTE]
