" Borgine Settings" helped find a Killer Token [1862]

Hi all, The heat of the full summer sun has finally come :hello2: :hello2: We are bit sick of rain down under .Due too massive amount of undergrown this summer, i,m limited to sites. Mainly roads and clearings and tailing dumps. Tailing dumps are not as Mineralized [hot rocks] natural ground. Some gold hunters have explained about the difference. This makes for major setting changes on gold machines like GPX range .

A mate told me about a settings for a gxp to use on tailing dumps. Called a Borgine setting Why called this, i don,t know. Simple adjustment. Drop your threshold to all most 0 and bring gain to the max. All other settings remain at factory reset. Coil setting switshes set for 5x12 mono coil. Auto tune.

Went out the other evening to the local mine tailing dumps for a try. Well was not there more than 20 minutes and got huge hit. Was not gold as that sound i know well. Wasn,t the tangy sound of a heavy iron scrap either. I dug the target which happens to be something i have had on my wish list for years. Local token of my area are the hardest to find. Finally i got a token.

A Robert Grieve Token of Eaglehawk 1862. ;D ;D ;D Single find that makes me real happy.
