Gain 100, threshold about 9. Look on bedrock in crevices. Dont forget to ground balance
And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!

what part of danseys are you going to as you wont find anything with the detector at the holiday park...there is plenty of gold there but way to small for detector.
