New settings and a couple of pickers for my efforts.

Well I switched to SPECIAL so I could take advantage of the FINE Gold timings. I'm learning!

I played around a bit with some of Pete's suggestions and checked a test nugget until I felt I was in pretty good shape. Took 10 steps and got a faint sounding hi-low and about 3 inches down out pops a 7.1 grain picker. A few hours later and several bullets later, I get a similar hit and out pops a 4.2 grain nugget.

The 5000 is pretty sensitive to small gold with the 11" mono. I was pretty impressed! Everyone has told me that the place I am hunting is POUNDED so I am happy as I have pulled 6 pieces out of there so far.

20 grain nugget from last week.

Thanks for the info guys!

Pretty durned cool, Ron!

I switched to my mono round for awhile to try it out.

Frank's 'Vampirus Nugatus' in a beaten area should give us all hope that there are sweet prizes still out there for the diligent.

WTG, I'll bet that there is a big Bro to those still hiding out there!

Front panel

Fixed

Mono

Rear screen - all FP except

Gain - 19 out of 20

Signal - flat out

Motion - slow

Stab - 12

Its a tad noisey but the gold will be very loud and distinct you wont miss much, just do a 4 second swing speed.
