From: Newby. I have recently purchased a gpx5000, I have a 18x12 nugget tech (Dingo) fitted. I am travelling to WA Leonora area, for 4 weeks. Could someone please give some advice as to how the settings should be so I can get the most out of the detector. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Good Karma Jason.
P.S any general advice about this area would also be appreciated.

Hi
How long is a piece of string..... Coil size, ground noise, EMI etc all affect the settings.
I use the following here in QLD. Not sure of the ground in WA.
Starting from factory default (which is a good default), ground balance, set threshold, ground balance, set rx gain around 6-13, ground balance, set motion to slow, ground balance, target volume to 3-4 (using rooster booster), ground balance, audio deep, ground balance, stabiliser 4-5 or where smooth, ground balance....... did I mention ground balance LoL... in case I forgot, ground balance..... and swing LOW & SLOW.... should be scrubbing the coil on ground..... if the coil seems too bump sensitive, try adjusting stabiliser.

Ohh yes, for an 11" coil RX gain is usually 6-7 and 16" anywhere between 7-13, again all depends on the weather and mineralisation

cheers, thanks for the advice. I guess ground balance has got a lot to do with it lol.
