[QUOTE="Willo, post: 193163, member: 783"] Chuky the other thing I always do is carry a test nugget of about 0.3 gram. I bury it in the hottest ground and then vary my settings soil timings until I hear it the loudest before I even start detecting. Don't be afraid ti bury it down 25 cm or so, with the 5000 you should be able to fine tune your settings accordingly. One of the things with the more aggressive settings is that you will find more hot rocks, but that "ground noise" could betray a deeper target. Also remember to ground balance even if every couple of steps, a out of balance detector will miss gold. Ian [/QUOTE]
