Hi Brian, Many detectorists do not know how to use the mods efficiently, we have 2 camps with mods, Camp 1 will say its the best detector ever and have the gold to prove it and camp 2 will be the ones who really never worked it out properly.
Bob white who is thinking of doing training up in QLD called be about a modded detector that a fellow was having all sorts of problems with, he was ready to dis me on the forums as Bob conveyed to me the situation, anyway some friends of the fellow had set the detector up for him, factory gain on 15!! Stabiliser on 12 Audio on boost our gain on 9 out of 10... Wow, no wonder he was having trouble, anyway Bob sorted it out and the detector was running as good as Bobs.
When we move i will be right on some good ground as soon as i walk out of my front door, the area has underground power so i should be able to set up a testing area near the house in the land next door. There is so much BS in this detecting industry it is about time to do the tests, make the video's and rip away the veils of false advertising and lies that permeate the detecting industry.
