Road Dog Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I have been hunting with the GPZ for quite some time now. So I the am use to the GPZ being noisy it's like running the GPX 4500 very very hot or (maxing out). On this particular day the ground was saturated and as I dug down to recover a target I never hit any dry dirt. The GPZ will find the gold in wet conditions if you listen to what it's telling you through the noise. A proper ground balance and using the ferrite ring is a key part. On this outing I recovered 8.8 DWT and the largest being 5.4 DWT. The quarter ounce piece was at thirteen inches and broad signal. Happy Hunting, Road Dog 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Nice gold. I've found the iron ferrite ring had been smoothing out the ground balance a lot on my GPZ as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
