[QUOTE="AusFX, post: 138713, member: 3087"] Finally got my GPZ today from EE day in ballarat, and so begins my couple of months prospecting the golden triangle! I went out near Talbot today where I found a few small bits last year with the GPX, using the GPZ on factory settings for the first hour with the volume up a bit higher, then I turned up the sensitivity a little. Either way I was getting a bit of ground noise, but I was picking up plenty of led shot, so it works. After a few hours in my spot there without much luck, I decided to try a new spot that looked pretty good on the map, but it was so trashy I couldn't walk a meter without having my ears blown out. So the result of the day is a few bits of scrap and a sore back, but i can't wait to get out again tomorrow! As far as the GPZ goes, its a lot like the GPX, but heavier, I didn't set up the harness on this first outing and I'm regretting that now. Tomorrow should be a bit easier on the back now I've got that set up. Oh and to explain the name of the thread, I'm a prop maker, PROPspector - prospector.... I thought it was hilarious... I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully with some pictures of the yellow stuff. [/QUOTE]
