rockett Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Great day out yesterday with my mate Bazza , sun was shinning bull ants where biting and them march flies where the size of small planes lol. Hit a new spot just out of Cressy and worked an area no bigger that 15 meters x 15 meters and came up with 14 little bits and some nice little bits in quartz. GPZ SDC combo with a lot of raking shoulders a little sore this morning. Still having trouble running in normal, seem to be digging a lot of ghost targets around them trees but i just can't walk away. (any advice would be great) Hope everybody is getting yellow. Regards Rockett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northeast Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Rockett. The Z in Normal near gum tree roots is very frustrating. 99% of your targets will just be the roots. Try Difficult/High Yield with the size of the nuggets you are showing. Worth going over your patches in Difficult/General because it will pick up bigger bits that High Yield won't see (providing there are bigger bits there ) I think I read on PA forum that Nenad suggested Normal ground mode can be helped a bit by turning on the Locate Patch Ground Smoothing function from the new update. I have tried this but it hasn't made any discernible difference where I am. Different location may show different results of course. Also, what sensitivity setting are you using? If you are only running 5 or thereabouts and you are finding those small pieces you can try ramping it up to 15-20 in HighYield/Difficult and you might ge pleasantly surprised with a few more bits. Hard to continue with these settings for too long in bad ground or bad EMI but worth it for a bit. Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockett Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks Idahogold and thanks Northeast. Im heading back out on Saturday to the same spot as there is a gully there that ruins directly into the patch we where detecting. And i think it is well worth a swing over. I have taken a screen shot of your settings Northeast and will report on the changes i will make on the day. I really appreciate the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
