Yeah it was pretty stormy looking everywhere that day. Cool video. Are you using the Go Pro camera? I noticed the big loop of coil wire hanging, you should pull that up tight to the shaft and tape it down. You dont want any metal near the coil, the less the better, and the the less moving around the better too. The machine will ground balance out the metal in the wire, and that is less sensitivity to find the gold. I see people all the time with their coil wire all coiled up around the shaft, and I have to think they really dont have a clue. Tighten that up and tape it down with electrical tape. You will get better sensitivity like that. Just run it up along the shaft straight, and tape it down tight. No big loop!

I use the Easy Shot Clip Camera. I received it this past Christmas. It's not a great camera, but it gets the job done. Thanks for the advice about the coil wire. :icon_thumleft:
