Good one, finder certainly knows he`s not kidding himself.

that did not seem that deep but...it is Australia...

What difference in signal between normal and difficult...

nice nugget!

wondering why he went back to difficult…

Probably too hot for the area for general hunting. It might make a found nugget pop better once found, but also light up ground noise and hot rocks when searching for unfound nuggets.

 Dag Nabbit! (dag nabbit means roughly the same as "crickey" in Australian")

 We have another video of tweaking a detector over a known and likely gold target but nothing on what the settings where while searching for the target. The target response in difficult was definitely enough to warrant stopping and digging but would operating in normal  in that location be noisy enough to hid the minuscule whispers that are so important when using the 7000?

  I wish I had the ability to make detecting videos to torment you folks with.

 I will add that the 19" coil can run in normal more often than the 14" and I realize the point of the video was to demonstrate the response in normal vs difficult but the response over a target is only one sentence of a whole story.

Dag Nabbit...JW pleeeeeze don`t encourage the lad, KL gets a video what ya call it, I`m trading be bloody Z for them funny sticks they chase white balls with. Even across the pond from us he`d be a menace on lens...............

I have a suspicion the 19" is a superior coil to the 14", maybe windings aligned differently or something but we`ll know when ML makes us that smaller coil. Whatever tis a beauty.

Have found in the Goldfields of WA ,when using the 19 I start of in High/Norm with sens backed of to 5-6 audio backed way down and use the Booster and once I hear a distinct change in audio I switch to High /Diff to pinpoint the target it works for me.

Gidday Guys,

My name is Rick and that is my video.

I was hunting in normal ground mode, high yield, no smoothing, sensitivity at 17, auto tracking

I always try to run normal because it punches so much deeper than difficult and gives brighter responses ! You do get ground noise ( groans ), but the targets still come over the top of the groans.

The area I was prospecting ranges from noisy to very noisy, ( broken down ironstone ) and very variable, but the big ZED coil seems to handle the ground better than the 14 inch coil.
I will often cross check iffy targets using difficult, because if it is ground noise the target will usually disappear after a few passes. And yes, kiwijw, that's what I was demonstrating.

I have yet to track out even a faint legitimate target. 

Hope this answers your questions !

Cheers, Rick
