[QUOTE="Rockhunter62, post: 398697, member: 7504"] Hi Aussie, One thing I noticed with the above post was that the student explained how the GM was set up but not the SDC. We have both and have now found gold with the GM. The SDC has definitely found more gold than the GM. We took a while to work out the settings on the GM and yes Auto Plus does work out to be about 6-7 in manual mode. If you start using higher settings in manual you will definitely get more false signals. We use it in Auto Plus All Metals for searching and adjust settings when we have a target. Most times we'll just dig the target anyway to enhance our knowledge of the tones to targets. Our SDC up here in NQ is running flat out, i.e.: sensitivity range 5, threshold max.(2 or 3 led's lit up) No false signals here and to my knowledge no targets missed. We also run a BZ booster to twin speakers. The SDC will pick up hot rocks (hates basalt) but not as much as the GM. They are two different detectors. We were in the same boat as the student after we got the GM. No confidence in it and many trips before we found gold with it. I like both detectors and my wife loves the weight of the GM. Like anything that you have tamed it is the same process to go through to tame another detector to be confident in it's abilities. I'm sure that the student would have been in the same boat as us if he bought the SDC first. Time and patience will prevail. Hope this info helps others. Cheers Doug [/QUOTE]
