Pics of the last few days detecting session when I’ve been able to get out and about

Always great to read your reports and see your finds, thanks JP! Quick question: I noticed on one of your pics the cover over the Bose QuietComfort Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. Are you using those when detecting? I have the same headphones and absolutely love them and their noise cancelling feature is superb. I just don't know if they are suitable for detecting, i.e. plugging into the SP01 with the GPZ.

Thanks!

The Bose headphones are superb especially if you work in timbered country. Most wind noise through trees is low frequency and the QC cuts that noise right out, they are also good if you work in areas where there is a lot of road noise from vehicles etc, but not good if you don’t like surprises when a car drives right up to you and you don’t hear it ? ?

They work very well with the SP01 Enhancer and the B&Z booster, with the GPZ I feel a ‘booster’ is a necessity using the Bose QC NC headphones. I run my volume on 7, Volume Limit on 10 and Threshold 25 then vary the sensitivity to whatever the are I am working can handle.

Suggestion: Set the sensitivity early in the session not later on as your ears/brain become accustomed to loud variation and you will not get an accurate idea of how variable the volume of the audio is. I start at 9 and slowly increase from there listening to the general detector behaviour anywhere from 9 to 15 is my general range working in my areas in Difficult. Be aware Normal has much higher volume levels than difficult so it might pay to lower the Main page volume a bit lower for booster use.
