Week before last I was working reasonably shallow area in Gen/Diff/Smoothing Off/Sen 14 and Mrs Redfin called me on the 2 way to say it was morning tea time,
So I changed the mode to Deep for the walk back to the car.
About halfway back I got a nice smooth signal that just had to be gold.
Now as I was in Deep mode I got rather excited, but, at about the 12" mark out pops
a piece just under a gram.
So don't go think Deep Mode will ignore all small pieces.

G'day Redfin

Congrats to you mate,

I done a little test on a strange iffy ground noise between each of the different gold modes, found out H.Y. was weirder sound even iffier, than the other g. modes, turns out the target was a 0.3 at 6".

and I forgot to at add, no signal prior to the dig with the GPX and 17 x 11 NF, will check with Mrs Redfin what she was running at the time, but
she is no slouch and has a fine ear.

There's a lot less knobs on this machine and it seems a lot easier to try diff settings on undug targets . This might mean a quicker learning curve than previous machines.Redfin did you try HY or G to see what the diff was.I found that HY was always the best result on my targets but all were under 4 grams..."..unfortunately for me.

G'day Fisho, unfortunately I was caught up with the excitement of the signal in Deep !!
I have yet to try the machine in HY, as am working a paddock that is over 160 acres, and has done us well with previous machines.

I was watching a short video from Minelab, apparently in noisy ground deep is better than general, I haven't try yet.

Hey goldquest, interested to know if you have drawn any conclusions on this?
