time on the machine and read the manual a few times.
Ive had mine about a month and starting to get the feel for it (using an old garrett previously helped)-i can predict within reason what target will be now but still get a few suprises.

I wait with interest to see how you get on with it Keith... looking at maybe getting one myself for a light weight option for carrying in to places for a detect in the middle of nowhere when detecting isn't the main purpose of my trip i.e. my Copland Track trip I hope to do with some mates.

Are you going to give your claim a good go? Curious how you get on there. I know you said it's all fine stuff - just wondering if there's the odd chunky bit hiding in there somewhere ;)

Hi K K, I live near Greymouth and have gold bug pro, Lots of detector experience but haven't had this one long. Could be keen for a mission or two, bit unfit tho. Have 4wd and other prospecting gear. PM me your phone number if you want. Nuggy
