Running normal

Hi all long time between posts, heading out this weekend and was wondering how well normal works with ground smoothing on will it settle it down on hot ground or should ground smoothing be better left off when running normal cheers in advance, joe

Any form of filter smoothing should be left off wherever the ground permits one to do so Joe. All or any filters on a detector a designed for the purpose of giving one a more stable threshold or audio response, but at the cost of losing some sensitivity over positive in ground targets, in way of depth. Ground smoothing when in normal helps a little, but does little in way of stopping ground noise when in High Yield/Normal or General/Normal when prospecting over ground that is variably changing or high in ground mineralization.
I don't know about QLD ground, but here in Vic, gold bearing ground found to be benign or very low in ground mineralization, is found very far & few in between.
Basically, use Normal Mode with ground filtering wherever the ground allows one to do so Joe. I don't know of any other way in doing so, without a dramatic loss in sensitivity/depth in order to get ones coil more stable. Maybe someone else on here can shine more light on this matter.

Cheers Kon.

Cheers mate was guessing that but thought I would put it out there to be sure been a while since I’ve been behind the coil
