Crumby Afternoon

[Lunk]

Decided to take the Monster out from under the bed and up into the hills for a couple hours today. Used JP's recommended procedures outlined in his Minelab blog and it worked very well. Also taped the coil lead of the 5-inch coil to the shaft very close to the the coil as posted elsewhere on the forum. While it didn't completely eliminate the falsing that occurs in max sensitivity when bumping the coil, it was greatly improved. Altogether, the Monster located a dozen flakes of gold this time out. The total weight is 2.5 grains, or 0.2 of a gram.

Very nice. I like nooks and crannies and CRUMBS. I also think JP's start up procedure is very important.

Nice going Lunk. It certainly sniffs out those tiny ones if they are present. Due to your coil falsing, what settings were you using please kind sir? Lucky the sparrows didn't get those crumbs before you. 

Very best of luck to you out there.

JW, I was flipping back and forth between manual sensitivity 10 and auto+ sensitivity (12), since the falsing wasn't that bad.

Nice stuff. If I had not had so much to do, I would liked to have went with you. We can try for next weekend with the GM 's .
