fredmason Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 The settings will be site specific. So you will have to practice with the gm3 until you understand it. Try starting with moderate sensitivity, learn to get a slightly positive ground balance then practice...parks, yards, fields where ever....hot rocks should sound different than any metal target. fred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boorx4 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Romulus, The GM3 is a great machine. I have used one for some dozen years and find all kinds of gold, both big, small and sub grain size. I have used it to find lots of meteorites at both Franconia and Gold Basin. I also have found a few Franconia irons with it. Actually the meteorites are easy to hear with the GM3, very loud and clear. No question about it. If you need to cover lots of ground while hunting, get a 14" Sierra Gold Max coil. Fred is correct about ground sensitivity, but a high sensitivity isn't really needed hunting meteorites. Meteorites come across really loud. Just my opinion.

Au Seeker Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Romulus, You didn't say if you have the owner's manual for the GM3, if you don't have it, it will help you with the settings, here's a link to the owner's manual in a PDF format, you can download it as well. https://www.whiteselectronics.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/gm_3_instruction_manual_1.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romulus Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Au Seeker , I bought the detector without the manual. I've already found a tutorial on the web and now I'm trying very hard to understand it Thank you for good advice! Romulus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
