I agree, alot to digest, just got to wait for some warmer weather and start experimenting. As to your idea about cross breeding, I think it would be a good idea, I don`t care if it can`t have kids but it better find nuggets!

Please help me out with some GPX experiences. Living in the eastern US I don`t have the opportunity to use the 5000 much. I try to do two or three trips a year in gold country, so my actual time on the machine is limited compared to those who can get out more often, so any advice or helpful hints are much appreciated to shorten the learning curve.

Great info, thanks for sharing! I now see why you are successful in chasing the weight, you squeeze every advantage out of your machine that it is capable of producing by thoroughly learning and experimenting with the settings. Most of us never reach this level of expertise with our detectors, the majority of us are "Turn and Go" junkies who never really realise what we are missing. Many of us are in the same situation with the GPX 5000 and now with the introduction of the ZED are thirsting for some miracle settings that will give us some more depth and sensitivity, pray tell you have some?

Gold Hound, I think a write up from you on this process would be most welcome and interesting!
