Sourdough Scott Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Does anyone ever use the coin /relic setting on the gpx5000? Just curious. I use the 5000 for gold only. The only use for it I could see would be dealing with black sands on a beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Just the opposite. It is only of use where there is almost no mineralization otherwise you can't get it to ground balance. I tried a couple time but even my milder places were too much. Think clean white coral sand in southern Florida as being the type of place it would work well. I always planned on playing around with it more than I did, maybe by trying very low gain settings. Just never got around to it and now my GPX is gone.

klunker Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The only way i have ever been able to use the coin an relic setting is with the power switch "off" but you loose a lot of depth that way. I have yet to hear of anyone that has made use of that setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
