Hello mate,

Did you say you are running in

General/Difficult????

Do you do the same with the 14 in that ground?

Volume?

Volume limit?

Threshold level?

Threshold pitch? 53?

Smoothing OFF

Oh, I also stumbled on the booster oscillation video you made....

Now I know what is happening when I have the volume up and threshold down and kneel down next to the coils.

Woob woob woob

Thanks!

Hi Paul, I use my usual conservative settings which are.....

• Threshold: 27
• Audio Smoothing: OFF
• Volume: 8 (I use the B&Z booster through twin speakers)
• Volume Limit: 8 to 10
• Ground Balance: Tracking
• Gold Type Mode: General for solid heavy nuggets over 10 grams, High Yield for rough gold or solid nuggets 15 grams and down
• Ground Type Mode: Difficult, because the ground here is nasty
• Threshold Pitch: 60
• Ferrite Balance: Perfect at all times (regularly check it)

The key to these settings is the Audio Smoothing OFF, that's were all the information is and I will not sacrifice any of it for any other setting unless the EMI is extreme and I'm too stubborn to call it quits.

Normal Ground Type mode is a different animal altogether, the detector is more aggressive on the Ferrite in this mode, subsequently it can drift with temperature so check it regularly. High Yield is the deepest punching Normal mode if the ground conditions will allow, High Yield is also less susceptible to EMI and rub and bump noises. General irons out ground minerals better.

Very nice JP the big coil doing what its designed to do.
