local digger, once you go past the top point of the inverted "V" that is where you get no more gold or colours, the same as when you go outside the edges of the inverted "V" you get no more gold or colours.It should be a matter of coming back down to the tip of the inverted "V" where you begin to get colours again and go down deeper right there, sample and wash the dirt as you go down, thats what the old timers did anyway GE

Its probably much more like a turn on and go PI machine without all the bells & whistles and multi choice timings the GPX5000 has. If it is as they say, very good on small gold then it is most likely just locked in a single timing like "fine gold" and has all the best bits of the 5000 locked so you just turn on gorund balance and of you go. Quick easy compact, you see some good looking ground and just grab this sucker and go. Then if its got small gold you can then come back with your 5000 and your multi choice of timings and settings and give the patch a good hammering GE

Wow they sure impressive pieces, and your right, how much gets walked over because we that have been detecting for a good while know better that to detect in a spot that looks unlikely to us. GE
