Goldmaster 2 and me.

[Bobbylikesgold]

Hello,
I have a goldmaster 2 thats seems to sensitive, tried ground balancing until I get the same sounds pumping up then down .

Keep getting mystery signals every 2 or 3 sweeps, dig it out grap a hand full of dirt wave it under the coil Yep its in the hand , keep checking as I drop the dirt slow, only a tiny bit left now good signal bererrr ~ beererr ,
Then none left but a dirty hand But still getting the signal ?

After doing this a few times I start to high sweep 6 inches so I can walk a bit before the next Beereerr ~ oobrrer .

Well in the end I walk away frustrated .
What am I going wrong ?

Help Bob.

Its not the Smell, Its not the Taste, Its not the Look, so Hear me...

Its the frequency.... @ 50 kHz what your hearing at high gain levels is the Salt in your hand, so please do me a favor.

CUT BACK on the Dominos Pizza... its delicious but adds salt to your system Bob. High Frequency Detectors like the GMT, Fisher Gold Bug II and Eureka Gold @ 60 kHz will react to salt.

Turn down the Gain, use a PRG Scoop, Nugget Cup when you wave the dirt over the top or bottom of the loop.

See, that DIRTY HAND NOISE will Disappear..... SO EASY a CAVEMAN Can do it!!!!

and if it is tight, you might want to check the coil to see if it is defective. Kelley (Texas)

it's the affect of the capacitance of your hand, on perhaps a not so good sheilded coil.

If you doubt this, sprinkel a tinny bit of salt on a clean spot, see if you can detect it. If you can't detect raw salt, you certainly are not going to detect it in your skin.

Your statement is like a old wise tail that get's told over, and over again untill it turns into the truth.

To Bobbylikesgold poster, try lowering down your sensitivity, and be real sure you have a good ground balance.

Thanks Kelly, Greg ,Freddie.

Looks like I had set every thing in the wrong sequence, guess you know what its like to be in a hurry .

Have Fun I do.
Bob.

Waving my hand across the coil is one of the tests I do. I carry a chip with a picker. Place it in the ground where I'm hunting and test the detector with it. Check for a signal and depth. I also always use headphones with a gold machine. My next outing with a goldmaster I'm trying my new sunray gold pro headphones.
