It all depends on the ground and emi. I cant run that hot in most areas of the lsd because of both. Bumblebee/ cleator/gold basin and a few others... no problem. Both the small and deep nuggets were in old patches in very mild ground and since I knew there was gold there I was taking my time and checking every faint repeatable signal. Most people like a quiet machine especially if they have a 5k luckily for me I moved up from a noise 3k and gb2 and was used to backround noise. It takes time behind any machine to really learn what to listen for when targets are faint or masked by other sounds. But when you do it can be very rewarding.
