[QUOTE="Thumper, post: 624861, member: 7862"] Hi all, I spent all day at Jupiter Creek today detecting hard, here's my hoard. Just rubbish, no gold. I was picking up some very fine bits of wire as well as well-buried .22 bullets, so I'm guessing I'm doing the right things, just haven't got lucky yet. Does that sound about right? I'm using a second-hand GPX5000 which seems to be really good at what it does, I just need to do my part. I seem to have no problems picking up surface targets, but not sure if I'm missing deeper targets with the continuous low-amplitude chatter due to ground variations. Regarding noises the detector makes, I'm thinking there's a bit of a pattern of biii-baaa (high then low) when crossing a non-ferrous target, and the reverse (baaa-biii) when crossing ferrous targets. Does that sound right, or am I imagining it? Have a good day! Thumper.[img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/7862/1634285139_img_20211015_170325.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
