Condor Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hey Steve, How would you like to follow behind Glenn with the SDC? I got out for a few hrs and dug a bunch of bird shot, but found this guy in a spot that screams gold. A bedrock bench with a foot of overburden. Based on the birdshot, I doubt it was ever detected. I need to pull off that overburden and give her another go. 3 grams, we're getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Nice, Had mine out today . No gold. Couple of things though. EMI resistance was no better than my Sd-2100. Brushing against the tops of any little living sprout gave a solid signal. I killed a couple of innocent Palo Verde sprouts before I figured it out. Is this normal?

Condor Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I have noticed the same thing, dry scrub brush gives you a static burst, sometimes a couple passes to clear it. My old GPX with coiltek coil did the same thing. The NF coil improved it. I was in some hot ground today, even though the SDC handles it, I know I'm over running the threshold, I hear it catching up and overshoot on some hotrocks. It stops me and forces me to slow down. You'll be surprised at the power of that SDC, keep swinging low and slow and you can't help but find gold. Call me if you're in the Yuma neighborhood.

Rick K - First Member Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks. Based on everyone else's experience, i had brought a pill bottle, tweezers and a Magnifyivg glass! LOL The two last items came in handy when I accidentally brushed up against the Cholla cactus. – Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
