I use red drywall tape. Not all gummy. Can pull it tight. 2 wraps works well. will last a good while. Cheap at Wally world.

I must confess I'm pretty much a lurker. I enjoy what others have to say. Interesting hawk nest found on my travels.

Volume all the way, 5-6 as mentioned maybe lower and ground balance way more often so you are tuned takes a second. Ground can change every foot or two. You can run slight threshold or none. When you hit something it will still bang with no threshold. Just note you'll have to up the threshold every time you ground balance. Bring a space rock with you to test and see which way works better for you.

So I'm out at my claims this weekend and see fresh side by side tracks going up the wash. Completely off road, crushing bushes and cactus. I find several dig holes that were not filled in. Then I see them. Parked right smack dab on my corner marker and my location marker. When confronted I get the usual bullshit. I didn't know it was a claim. I said that is my location notice right there. The response is I thought the claim went east. Well there are claims owned by a local club that way. No remorse, no apology and had the stupidity to say that I was an asshole. This turd is from Idaho and says he is a prospector. My ass this dude is a claim jumper and doesn't give a shit about where he hunts. Doesn't care about the land and can give a shit about your mineral rights. Shit bags like this guy really ruin the hobby. I told him it is his responsibility to know the land status before he goes. He says there are so many paper hanger claims. There was just no reasoning with this turd. If you aren't going to respect Arizona land and claims stay the hell out of this state.
