[QUOTE="Oh!Pal, post: 665779, member: 24149"] Thanks guys. I got the packet of paydirt this morning and the GM1000 made all sorts of beeps and groans when I turned it on and waved it up and down. Then it gave some sort of consistent squeal over the Amazon bubble wrap, but I had to set it to position 11 - the first auto setting for it to be usable. Does it always make such a cacophany? I was also surprised that it was randomly silent on a couple of swings. It all felt very digital rather than analogue - but I liked the barchart on the display growing to the right to indicate gold. The paydirt was from an Aussie supplier ($17) who doesn't enrich the sample making it a bit of a gamble, but he was clear about this in the advert. I haven't opened the inner packet but I can see a goodly number of pretty yellow specks among the sand grains through the cellophane. I'm feeling pretty happy about my plan right now. [/QUOTE]
