G day all
I only have a basic understanding of DVT so can anybody tell me if running an SD at 7.3 / 7.2 volts go someway to make up for the lack of DVT ?
Thanks Brett

G'day fisherman,
7.2v helps a bit but my advise is not to worry about having MPI or DVT.
Best guy I ever seen swing a detector was about 78 years old and used an old battered 2100.
This guy could pull a couple of grams out of his wife's flowerpot!

When the Extremes were the latest detector, a couple of semi pro's using them gridded hell out of a patch of ground and then invited the old guy to see If they had left any. The old guy went over in the afternoon and found 3 bits between 1 and 4 grams, anyway he had a few hours spare the next day, so he wandered back to the old patch and found a nice 10oz bit.

The detector is only about 5 - 10% of it, the rest is up to you. scratch

Brett,
Was talking to Ismael today and mentioned how a mate of mine wandered through a thrashed area and got a "Tin Can" response from his SD2100. He did a scrape with his boot thinking the signal was so responsive it had to be trash, he flipped over an iron coated specie with 30.8g of AU. Shocked
Cheers

30.8g thats fantastic!!!
The good discrimination on vlf's these days can make you a bit picky about what to dig so since coming over to pi's i have tried to maintain a dig all signal mentality, it would be nice to walk over one like that.
