Thanks for coming up, it was good to meet you.

David (and son Wyatt)

Ray was kind enough to spend 15 minutes or so on the phone with me a couple of months ago and as a result I got a GBP with the 11" coil. I also happened across a good deal on like new 10" and 5" round DD coils. No doubt about it, the 10" elliptical is the "sweet spot" for me.

I had read a good bit about the GBP in Steve's guide to gold detectors and noted his comment that while the discrimination circuitry continues to display numbers while the GBP is in all metal, it does so by putting marks on the arc of small numbers which are permanently on the screen as opposed to putting the numbers in the big display. They chose instead to display the ground phase in the big central area.

Having used the GBP for a while now, I have come to appreciate that choice. First of all, I can see the current ground phase and compare it to the current GB set point which is shown right next to it. This tells me when I need to "grab" a new ground balance setting.

Secondly, it provides a valuable clue as to target identity. Hot and cold rocks show a slightly higher or lower reading than the ground around them. Metal targets however seem to reliably show a significantly lower reading than the ground. I need to observe and learn more about this, but I think it is valuable information.

Please First Texas, give us another tone and give us "iron volume" like on your Eurotec. Oh yes and while you are at it, give us a "Boost Process" to put some more hots into the discriminate mode.

And the 10" coil as standard. And a pony.

I agree with every point you have made and my wife amens the pony!
