Hi, can anyone tell me what settings I should use on my Z in very noisy/salty ground?
I have been working a patch and up until now the ground has been very easy to work, but now I'm into very noisy ground and feel I am missing gold.
I have reduced the "Sensitivity" and running in "Difficult Ground Type" but still, it's too noisy to work.
Any help will be much appreciated. thanks.

Mike I tried what you suggested, and had no issues. Due to the new knee/ leg still being very stiff and a little tender I don't kneel on the ground, I remove the Bungee cord and lay the coil on the ground, than bend the old back and check the hand full of dirt that way. I had the toe of my boot touching the coil and no problem while bending over. Plus I'm only a short person and still no issues. Hope this helps?

Dang-nab it, I thought there may have been a cheap 19" coil up for sale
Nice work old boy, very happy for you. And good work on the nuggets too.
Any size? Any pics?
Hi Northeast,
i don't want to push my luck, the 19" might be just too much to ask of the knee, so it might very well be for sale. ?

Hi All,
I am a very happy prospector. Recently I asked if anyone knew the effects of a knee replacement while detecting.
As mentioned, I recently had a full knee replacement and I was very concerned that my GPZ7000 would pick up the Titanium in the knee.
Well, I am currently at one of my favorite goldfields and came here to check for myself the effects that I might encounter.
I have been detecting for two days without a problem, I am over the moon. My fears were that I might have to sell my detector. Not only is there no interference, I have found three small nuggets. Happy Happy.
The only thing I had to do was change the way I put the handful of dirt onto the coil to find the nugget/rubbish, bending too close to the coil, my knee would be picked up, but a few trials and now all is good.
So to anyone out there who is reluctant to have the knee operation due to their concerns of interference, I can tell you all, don't be concerned, all is ok.
Thanks to all who sent a post to me on this.
Merry Christmas to everyone ( i know Santa has already come to me)

? yeh forgot about the airport drama I will have to go through.
I'm heading bush on Thursday to try the detector and see if it is going to go ballistic on my knee. Fingers crossed.
I will let everyone know how it goes.
merry Christmas ?

I have just had a full knee replacement and very concerned about the effect using my Z. I'm still on the recovery road only a month since surgery. I'm heading out in about 2weeks, fingers crossed. I will inform you how things go. There might be a cheap Z up for sale
