G'day there,
I'm looking at setting up some permanent test holes to play around the settings on my 7000.
Has any one got any recommendations on depth of the holes & size of test pieces that I should use to get the best testing?
I was thinking of setting them up permanently, so thinking about using lead as the test pieces.
Given the weight differences between gold & lead (19.32 versus 11.34 g/cc). Would I adjust the size of the lead sample be same size as the piece of gold that I'm substituting it for? i.e. If I wanted to simulate a 19.32 piece of gold I'd use a 11.34 piece of lead as my test piece?
Or would it be much better if I didn't set up a permanent test site & just used gold?
Best regards
