Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: troutmasterfunk on February 10, 2013, 08:36:29 PM Hi tuco m8 go on minelab owners site they got settings for all minelab machines..
Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: dances with badgers on February 11, 2013, 08:25:08 PM full volume ,as little discrimination as you can,sensitivity as high as you can handle it,threshold just audible(adjust your headphone volume so u dont go deaf when u hit a fishing weight) ,notch on zero,variable tones and all metal for an extra inch or two depth on the gold rings.
good luck ,now hit those beaches (not mine obviously lol ) mike ;) Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: musket ball on February 12, 2013, 12:45:39 AM thanks mike for your advice,will try it out.cant wait to find my first ring .pulltabs all im getting lol
Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: dances with badgers on February 12, 2013, 09:13:20 PM ring pulls give you good signals unfortunatly.keep it up,they are out there ;)
Title: Re: minlab gt beach Post by: musket ball on February 13, 2013, 09:32:36 PM if i run on auto does it not go as deep.trying to get my head around it all.or do i try it at 12 o clock
Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: dances with badgers on February 14, 2013, 06:00:34 AM o.k try the sense at 11 o'clock if its to noisy on the wet sand,still very deep
Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: Chef Geoff on February 14, 2013, 06:50:13 AM To answer the question...No auto is too reactive to slight changes in mineralisation and so will always err on the side of caution, as Mike says try it at around the 11 o'clock position but if that's still too noisy don't be scared of turning it down even to the 1 or 2 o'clock area. The Sov is a deep machine and even at these settings will still give good depth, as you gain experience of the blips and squeaks you'll find you will be able to increase your sensitivity. I tend to use mine at around the 11 o'clock position most of the time as standard.
Ultimately on the GT you are looking for beaches that you can run full sensitivity, all metal, in pinpoint mode. In that configuration the GT gets ultimate depth, unfortunately places where you can use it are limited.

Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: dances with badgers on February 15, 2013, 06:15:27 AM glad to help .as geoff said even at lower sensitivity the sovereign is deep.happy hunting and will see you on a beach one day,just leave me some gold though ;)
Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: musket ball on February 16, 2013, 07:07:16 AM you dont need to worry mike as i have never come across any gold yet lol gutted.but will keep trying,just need to get used to my machine first to feel confident.
just like to add that this site is brilliant. and full of advise .thanks lads Title: Re: minlab gt Post by: dances with badgers on February 16, 2013, 08:33:23 AM keep at it the gold is out there ;)
