So I made a video of the detectors on Kings gpaa claim north of Morristown. I used the lowest sensitivity setting on all three detectors to show how the detectors sound like with stabile settings. I hope this helps someone. Just copy and paste into your search bar.

So I saw signs that the GPAP was having an outing at the Morristown claims. Met this gentleman and his wife on kings claim. (I'm terrible with names) I helped him set up his minelab equinox 800. He was very happy and took off detecting. I finally found the GPAP and talked to I think the president of the club about the location of the dumb luck claim. I had a very good day out there.

So I detected the northwest corner of the Dumb Luck claim. That has to be the cleanest part of a claim I've ever detected. And every few feet the ground changed. The highest sensitivity I was able to set was 4 briefly in a couple of places and 3 in some places but mainly 2-2.5 gain and a couple of areas 1. Sheesh that ground was hot. I'm going to put my 6 inch concentric coil on tomorrow. I found some old drywasher tailings I'm going to rake down and check. I had my 6" X 9" coil on today. I found tiny lead targets and my first aluminim foil. Lots of hot rocks. I tested a couple of places with my .02gram of gold test card. I was surprised I couldn't pick it up. I was able to set up my detector to eventually see the test target. I had to turn down my threshold in a couple places to hear targets because of the loud background noise. That was the extremely hot ground. I couldn't get my sensitivity any lower so I sped up my S.A.T. to help cope with the ground. I found a tiny lead shaving after readjusting my detector.
