Studio after a few days r r in Far North Queensland it was great time exploring in Denise and I are raring to go as we and the whole minus 10 team uh strive to serve you our loyal customers even better Big Show as usual and let's kick it off with a look at how the precious metal markets fared during the week first up bar is gold and not a lot of movement over the past week with the precious metal sitting between 2950 and 2970 for much of the past seven days currently the gold was sitting around 2 968 at the time of writing that was per Troy out that was about forty two dollars sorry twenty four dollars a higher than what it was this time last week I did check it just before we came on air and it technically dropped back a little bit now to around about two thousand nine hundred and forty dollars so it's actually down a little bit but as you know it can fluctuate can the precious metal break through the 3000 Mark again and if so when well of course I'll keep you posted right here on the Mind lab show on to Silver now after beginning the week at 3720 the silver medal has taken a bit of a hit shaving close to two dollars off the price to be currently sitting at around about 35.72 cents per troy ounce um well that's the uh precious metal markets we're going to take a look now at the upcoming events and uh Denise and I are off to the National 4x4 show at the Melbourne

luck happy prospecting and treasure hunting well I hope you've been enjoying the series of songs from the modern day prospector album this week we take a look at Gold Fever The Mind lab shows title song let's catch up with Cliff Berry now it's a modern day prospector album by Cliff Berry and uh we've got lots and lots of songs on this one but one that a lot of Prospectors would can easily identify with is Gold Fever oh I got Gold Fever yeah and uh yeah and the thing is you start off and you get some gold and that's but they're then the fever gets you and my story is Boone that yeah that sort of happened and then I started out and I mentioned places you know like nundle and then up into uh clermonts and all these places up into the territory the Pine Creek and you know and uh and then venturing down through Marble Bar and all these places you know that you uh you're there and then you hear that they're fine and you end up away down there in Western Australia and Leonor and all those places where this marvelous over there and uh and so the golfer that keeps taking you then it takes you full circle you go down to Victoria again that's it the Golden Triangle and you do that and then you've got to come home again you know but but the goal forever has taken you full circle you know that's right exactly a day it's probably part of what's Happening uh with me today because I've actually uh from Bendigo heading out to our temper bar uh chasing that gold food for trying to see if we can't find a few nuggets out there we're going to ever get you it does well look for those of you who've got a dose of Gold Fever here's something uh well put like the actual fever worse Gold Fever the modern day prospector album by Cliff Berry thank you [Music] hey I got cold fever and you wouldn't believe it I'm out to chasing gold and I don't wanna leave it this Gold Detector has got me on the Run foreign all around Australia it's got me Roman I find a piece of two that keeps me going I'm a gold detect and Gold Fever son of a gun started out near by the square they found it first at over and he'll end I had a little burst on the Turan river is where I first got hooked stopped off at nundle as I headed up north found a few pieces in a water course I got the Gold Fever everywhere I go I look in the central Queensland and the Clermont field is where I found most why it was Unreal but the lure of the other fears was calling me on through childish Towers in Georgetown too I found just enough to see me through back up my gear once more and then I'm gone cause I got the cold fever and you wouldn't believe it I'm out chasing gold and I don't wanna leave it this cold detector has got me on the Run all around Australia it's got me roaming I've had a piece of dew that keeps me going I'm a gold detect them Gold Fever son of a gun to the territory and independent Creek stayed around there for a couple of weeks I heard there could be some around Pine Creek Way with everybody saying head to the West cause Western Australia is the best when I reached walls Creek I thought I'd be there to stay with Marble Bar another guy and I'd have stayed there longer if I'd had the time then I heard they'd found a patch way down around you were the cowgirly fields were calling me when I reached Leonora I had a screen through and through thank you [Music] [Music] and I took a big leap across to the east I heard Victoria was having a feast big nuggets they were finding down that way I set up in Denali town I worked Golden Triangle grounds and I've always managed to find a little pay around where to burn and Bendigo so many places I could go with the Talbot maripara and ton of color so I guess I'll stay here for a while until that old Gold Fever drives me wild and back on the road for the soul detecting fellas cause I got Gold Fever and you wouldn't believe it I'm out chasing gold and I don't want to leave it this Gold Detector has got me on the Run all around Australia it's got me roaming I find a piece of two that keeps me going I'm a gold detecting Gold Fever son of a gun I'm a gold detecting Gold Fever son of a gun [Music] okay look if you want to get a copy of any of the uh of the album of gold songs or even a few tracks then simply search the modern day prospector on your favorite music streaming service and it can be yours to enjoy right now so I've got to get a couple of questions come up while I was in the break there guys so um Mark has asked is there any word on an elliptical coil for the 900 and any plans for uh mono they look Mark there there are an elliptical coils out for the machine now any of the coils that fitted the 800 will also fit the uh 900 and that includes the uh call Tech coil so I think they had a 14x9 and elliptical from memory I know mine lab has a uh 15 by 12 so there are some calls around if it'll fit in 800 and I know call Tech have a range of calls that do 5800 because possibly even a 10 by five I'd have to just uh confirm that again but uh you'll be able to get one of those there so uh yes there are some there but I don't know of any plans at this stage on a coil in a mono Graham also asked another question about some accommodation options if you're up there in tipperborough look up in Temple Bar and the accommodation is reasonably limited but I do know that the uh first Pub on the right hand side is coming into town from broken Hill um you'll find in there or from Paxil and for that matter right you'll find in there they've built some brand new accommodation there and I'm not sure whether it's open yet but there were some uh spots there that would be worth checking out of course you've got your usual options of the swag a tent or a caravan uh as well so you can camp out on a couple of the stations and things like that as well Brian thank you for the question um now I had a question again from Dave here and Dave says is there much difference between the Equinox uh and gold monster on gold well look the gold monster is going to slightly uh shade The Equinox 800 when you're looking at um using it for for gold but if you put a six inch coil onto your um equal oxide hundred you've got a fairly competitive machine both of them are quite good obviously you get the advantage with having an equinox that you get those extra um you get the extra uh features or extra mode so you get the park feel Beach angle whereas the gold one so you kind of struggle a little bit with it when you're down on the beaches so all the machine uh they're great both of them are great entry level um uh gold prospecting machines so that's a good one again thank you uh the next one I had here was from Scott and Scott's asking um uh do we sell the mug so you'll be talking about these mugs here we have them in two colors white and in the black there they've got the uh Minelab logo on one side and we flip it around to the other side they've also got the uh miners Den logo on them they are available for sale and you can get them on the website or in the stores near about 17 each are plus uh postage there for the mugs a good thing they are metal so I'd be happy to lose them and you're at metal detecting you should have no trouble in finding them so thank you for your uh question as well Scott all right we'll move right along now and we're going to uh have a look at a couple of our Dave's deals uh now and this week I'm focusing on two deals from minus 10 Australia it'll save you big bucks when you purchase your new Minelab metal detector so the SDC 2300 metal detector is the best

along and have a look at our gold Discovery stories for this week There's a couple of great gold Discovery stories uh for to the show tonight um they come from the my name community and first up we have one from Karen who writes I recently found two pieces of gold a 0.22 and a 4.75 grammar they were found near someone else's holes that had done they had dug maybe four or five holes and lots of scratches on the surface but sadly for them they missed these two at only one inch deep they were screamers and other Prospectors most likely thought they were jug happy girl here sometimes someone else's trash turned out to be my treasure yay well look thanks for your story Karen it's a couple of nice nuggies uh there and very very well done we'll be sending you a 25 minus 10 gift Factory as a thank you for your contribution and it just goes to show when you're out there in the field dig every Target now the next story we have comes from Andrew who write I recently traveled to the golf country in North Queensland in June of this year we prospected an area between Georgetown and Forsyth for two weeks after technical on the barbed wire fence line with two of two properties which generally is not the best idea when all the barbed wire jump that is around I persisted using a GPX 6000 on noisy ground and a lot of junk around what made this find more special was this was my first son Baker just sitting there on top of the surface and after One Sweep of the coil I looked down and there it was no digging required now this is quite rare now for this area about 10 to 15 years ago this would have been a common occurrence the thrill of finding gold display is one that I hope all Prospectors get to experience sometime in their prospecting life Wow Andrew that's a very nice sunbaker it's always good to think outside the square and perhaps not too many others chose to detect along the wire fence line great job we'll be sending you a 25 gift voucher for your contribution look if you have an interesting story to share the mindlab show Community stay tuned I'll let you know how to do that shortly so to time now to head back to Tipper Borough as I begin day four of my epic golf prospecting Adventure let's have a look now and see how I went you know guys uh back on the gold again bit of a rest day yesterday headed into town to grab some more supplies but I've come out here we're just north of uh Tunnel Hill Tipper bar in New South Wales and I've got a well two or three targets here I'm kind of hopeful one of them might be gold let's start with the first one under the pick here and uh we'll have a look and see what we've got yeah look I've got a very very faint Target here haven't scraped the surface or anything on this one let's have a bit of a listen over it now you can just hear that faint sound coming through there look if I was a betting man I'd probably be uh saying this is going to be a piece of the yellow stuff let's just clear a bit of the surface material away now give yourself a nice flat area to work with take that back here got rid of all the rocks and things off the surface let's have another listen see if it got any louder this time or whether I've moved the target certainly that's a much clearer signal now I've taken the top material away exactly what I like to hear could still be a bit of rubbish but I've got it fairly confident we should have some yellow here scraping back out this side a little bit to a different side of course make it easier lesser mullet to go through we'll discard clearly we've got it out of the hole now first scoop that time getting better at this the more I do it [Music] nice little signal there [Music] still coming through nice and clear [Music] can hear that very easily let's have a look we must be getting somewhere down the bottom of the scoop that comes a little bit more nice little signal there nothing there now well look uh first one is unfortunately just a little piece of lead I thought that was uh sounding like gold very very small lovely Target to get close to the surface I've got a couple more to go with now so let's uh move on and have a look at the next Target just north of Tunnel Hill in tipperborough New South Wales now look Target Two in this little area here I'm just having a bit louder uh possibly it's going to be just another piece of lead but we never know until we get the target out of the ground let's have a quick listen to it now quite loud signal so I think it's probably likely to be a piece of lead there it's going to scrape it away with my boot for starters then we'll come back here and have a listen again move the target already I had found gold here right on top of the surface so you never know but let's just scoop some into the scoop got the signal in there nothing there nothing there still nothing yet still going through it all not sure what I'm seeing in here but I reckon fortunately uh another little piece of lead I believe [Music] that one there just a tiny piece of lead that we've dug out just goes to show you that uh not everything that's in the ground is going to be gold out here a little bit of wind blowing another piece of lead uh gold digger Dave here in Tupa Borough on our epic adventure we're going to continue to see if we can't locate another Target and hopefully bring you a piece of gold on the next dig well they always say the Third Time Lucky well the third target in this little area has just uh popped its uh sounding out of the ground and I'm just going to run over it now and give you a quick listen to it [Music] okay I think that's a Target there I'm just going to kick some of these little rocks away come back over and have another listen okay that is one of the rare occasions that I've been out here and I've got a false signal coming off from a hot rod it's actually this one down here I'll just show you while we're here this is my little hot rock here it's a highly mineralized piece of ground and if I run it over the coil it's giving me a sound off like a metallic object now look I'm going to take that one home uh with me I may crush it up I've got a feeling that it's just a hot rock but that's a fairly rare occurrence for the time that I've been up here in tipperborough hot rocks can be quite hazardous uh if there's uh Lots like this because you're digging false targets all the time let's put it in the kit I might have a look at it a little bit later on [Music] well I've still got a few more well a few more episodes coming up with the digging bit of stuff out there in uh tip of our great great fun out there now a couple of questions come up in the break there Richard's asked me what coil would I put on uh five thousand assuming it's GPX 5000 there Richard look it depends on what I'm looking for if I was going to be hunting for the smaller golf then I'd certainly be uh looking at something in a smaller coil um maybe a 10 by 5 in a mono possibly uh I'd be putting on the eight by six from uh nugget finder um I'd certainly be using a mono coil if I was looking uh for covering a bit more ground then I could look up to anything from a 17 by uh 11 or uh possibly even up to an 18 inch coil from all the mine lab ball nugget final I think call Tech also have one there as well so it just depends on what I'm looking for but I tend to like the smaller coils a little bit better these days there's a lot more smaller gold round unfortunately than what there is football size bits so I'm putting a small alcohol on sharpened you up a little bit to the smaller goal and that's where we seem to be finding a lot at the moment so thank you for your question there Richard um I've also got another one here from Stephen who's asking is the gold monster a lower level detector well look I wouldn't call it a lower level detector uh Steve what I call it I call it an entry-level detector so when I talk about that if you're only going to go out once every six months had a bit of a swing in the gold Fields um then something like a gold monster is a great option you don't have a lot of money tied up and sitting on the shelf and things like that however it's not going to perform like the say the SDC 2300 or the the GPX 5000s the the six thousands they have the advantages in that kind of technology that means you don't get as much ground mineralization noises and false signaling coming from the ground so um it's an entry level detector I wouldn't say it's a lower level detector it's certainly entry level but it's still in its class it outputs anything else really that is on the market as well so thank you for your question look so when is a lot of better version of the 7000 coming out I'm not sure uh if you haven't even if I want it please let me know um if anyone from my lab happens to be on the food tonight and uh would like to uh let us know I'm sure we will all be is I have no idea when that might be happening um the machine is a good machine as it is but certainly uh having it a little bit lighter would certainly help so look um thank you again uh for your question there Adam but uh I can't give you any info on uh well speculation that I know nothing at all about and uh maybe one day we'll see something like that um look who's written another one here for me what's the difference uh for your second hand deter for warranties for your second hand detectors and your new ones well there is a difference between the warranties uh firstly our second hand warranties on our second hand machine either carry the balance of the mine lab warranty which could be whatever's left on it uh out to uh and usually you'll find that'll be somewhere around about two three years on some three years is the actual factory warranty some of them will have a year someone will have two years some will have 18 months when miners then put a warranty with our second hand machines we're putting a three month warranty with the machines it doesn't cover moving Parts such as headphone cables and things like that they have all been fully tested in a lot of cases you find that you get new headphones with a lot of those machines anyway um so uh apart from that the warranty is exactly the same modest ends uh uh Bendigo service center which is where we do the work for all of those second hand and my lab's new warranty claims does exactly the same thing as you would get if you send it to Minelab so um no difference in the warranty except we don't cover moving Parts batteries things like that they're a little bit older um on those machines but if it has Minelab bar factory warranty still left on it you get that transferred that's a full balance of that warranty is uh available to you after you purchase a machine usually we'll say that on our second hand machines will actually tell you hey has uh three months or six months or nine months uh my lab warranty um if usually a three month warranties is what mine is then are offering but we never really have any problems because we actually do proper checks on the machines we don't just turn it on in the shop and say oh that's a test we actually could take it out here at Bendigo because we're out in the scrub a little bit and we've also got a Minelab Factory trained technician in Tom who uh leaves no stone unturned to make sure you get exactly what you're paying for and uh it's working as it should be look guys thank you very very much for all your questions there I really really appreciate it um and I'll try and get uh try and get through as many as I can uh each of the shows so thanks for putting those in there all right it's time to move along now though it's August has only just begun and we're already seeing many entries come in for

minersden.com well as you may have seen on recent shows the coffee Wars kid and I began searching for a lost pub rumored to be somewhere around lightning Hill on the outskirts of Bendigo let's see what we find in part three of our search for the lost pub g'day folks I'm the coffee Bush kid and I'm out with gold digger Dave and we are looking for the site of the lost pub now with previously we've just hopped out of the car we've found a nice little flat spot we've had glass we've had brass out of it day yep but across the Gully over that way I've spotted a really nice flat area so we're going to go over there and see if there's any signs of habitation whether it be glass Crockery bricks what have you give it a crack and see what we get let's head over there right now all right we are across the Gully we're on to the flat area I can already see stuff there's glass there's Crockery there's milk glass like the old ponds night cream stuff and the early veggie might just but what's excited what's excited me Dave is that there are bricks just up behind us here and there are also little Mounds now are they dwelling sites are they tip refuse who knows there's only going to be one way we find out again let's go for a walk have a look up this way so the nice flat area here obviously they flattened the area off when they're building now or dwelling putting their heads or whatever they might have had here in the earlier day yep um and uh we're wandering up here into exactly what you're describing in the bricks and things like that so we've got bricks up here we come up and have a look at this one just here there's obviously been something right on this spot here um yeah not often you'll find people just throw piles of bricks and things around no we've got bricks here we've got tin there is court so there's been mining in the area and we know that there's pig face yes something again that is a little bit different and we have the bottle dump so that was probably one of those Mounds that we were describing back a bit further yeah and it looks like there's a significant amount of glass in this area yeah bottle dump uh it certainly was yep there's an old I think it's con brothers so there we are beautiful piece of Aqua glass here you can see all the bubbles and buddy all from the process of the of manufacturing the bottle all the embossing it's really great there's a lot of glass around here that's got heaps of embossing on it and Dave watch that by your foot mate look uh there that looks like car it's going to be in the end of uh an old minus pick back in the day so if we broke it off uh here to obviously had something attached welded in there in the early day so it's definitely been people in this area look uh if it is a pub site that we're looking for guys maybe just maybe this is where they threw all of their bottles uh out as our ad there's lots of other interesting little pieces that uh coffee bush has picked up here let's uh see what we've got in this type of glass this will be that blue glass that I told you about like the castor oil bottle yes beautiful Colbert cobalt blue yep so that's what they used to make it blue was the cold Cobalt and this one that's purpley they put manganese in it now originally that was white but on being out in the sunlight the manganese in the glass turns that beautiful purple color now I know what some people do is that they will get one that's just slightly tinged purple yep if it's a good bottle they want to keep they just put it outside for a few months okay let the sun radiate it and it turns it more purple bloody great stuff well Mr Coffee Bush I'll just pick this up off the side here uh it looks like it's had some kind of handle or something on it Dave what glaze has it got on it it's got that salt glaze on the outside again there and uh maybe a coffee cup no what it is you're right about the handle Yep this was a jug that was about uh that high it had the handle that came out the back and joined up near the top it was a flat top and it had a pewter lid on it now that pewter lid actually had a little counterbalance on it so that when you pour it out of it it naturally opened up for you so it was like a self-closing jug yep yep you often see them in the second hand shops and in fact and in fact that one's got looks like it says glaze oh just says glaze yeah okay there might have been some Mark there that I just can't buddy make out but that's what it is it's it's like a well it's a jug for pouring stuff out of whether it be milk or whatever it's got the salt glaze on the inside so that might have been in a solution they just dropped it in and let it all go everywhere and then they fired it it's got that beautiful pattern in fact that's more than likely just hashing that's been put on there pushed in and then taken off again so you've got that nice dimpling on there but that's a cracker of a piece of stuff to find and and you just got to get all excited about a spot like this because it just oozes with potential absolutely pretty brilliant and uh it did don't even have to have your metal detector turned on when you're out hunting for uh an Old Pub site you can find all this interesting stuff out there and that's all part of the the well the thrill of uh trying to find the old Pub site [Music] okay well look uh they're out there again um with the Lost Pub bar a great little search we're having out there at the moment um I've got a couple of questions came up during the break there so I've got one from narissa who's asking what's the best way to stop getting dust between your skid plate and the coil on the gold Monster look uh narissa it's um uh a hard one that because whatever you tend to do you'll still get some dust in it so you can put some uh plastic type electrical tape around the outside of uh the coil to go along the actual seam where the coil and the skid plate goes on that tends to reduce the amount of dust that you're getting in but you're still going to need to every you know uh five or six trips out take the tape off and actually clean underneath the skid plate just with a damp cloth uh and uh on the bottom of the coil then reattach it if you happen to get uh dust between the skid plate and the coil on almost any coil it tends to make the coil a little less stable so you get a bit more false signaling and that kind of thing so that's the best way you're not going to keep it out altogether but you're certainly going to have a chance of reducing it by putting some tape around just make sure you don't use an electrical tape that has a metal band or anything like that in it or obviously that will interfere with your coil now John's got a question here and he has a Vanquish 540 he wants to know is there a six inch coil for it look at the moment there's not a six inch coil available for the uh 540 that I know of but there is the M8 coil from Minelab which is an 8x6 so that's an accessory coil that you can get that will have the similar type of effect of what you're getting from a six inch coil in a round one with the elliptical shape will make it a quite sensitive as well so that's quite a good comparison to have a look at the M8 coil if you're wanting to uh get one of those uh dated do probably the job you're looking for you won't get as many targets under HR uh coil under the coil when you're in trashy areas it should help reduce any mineralization can't be hunting around the gold Fields um as well so next up we're back into checking out this week's coin and treasure stories and first up I've got a story from Warren who writes I recently went out in an area near narima uh there are near near the Rhema Marina sorry searching for gold uh I took my gold Monster 1000 and my STC 2300 I managed to find two small pieces of gold before changing areas to continue searching unfortunately the headphone adapter cable for the SDC 2300 decided it was time to no longer work and uh how do I get it fixed do you ask well yeah look if you give the service center here in Bendigo and minus 10 authorized service center in Bendigo call they should be able to have a look at it and get a fix for you somewhere there now it's continuing the story uh I was nearing the end of my day anyway and decided to try to push on with the inbuilt speaker but with the wind and Emi it made it challenging I have a bad habit of not digging junk sounding targets but uh when I had one next to a tree I decided to dig it after a few Scoops I I found what I thought was a button but with a bit of cleaning discovered it was an 1861 farming I was shocked but very happy to find such an old coin to get my first treasure in the Golden Triangle a great way to finish the day look thanks for your story uh Warren start of the day with uh gold ended up with an 1861 farming not a bad day's work we'll be sending you a 25 minus 10 gift voucher for your contribution next up we have a story from Stuart who writes I purchased by my name manicor about four weeks ago from Bruce in the Adelaide store I headed to the beach to try it out and came across a bag this batch it has a date in it's in poor condition but still a great find you never know what's under your feet at the beach I also found a couple of coins uh using the program for your Show tips thanks look thank you for your story Stuart sounds like you're off to a great start with your new Mana call and we'll be sending you a 25 gift voucher for your contribution okay let's take a look uh at tonight's uh view this week's view of questions and there's a couple that came in uh during the week so uh first up we have a question from Miku writes hi Dave what's the difference between the ml85 and the ml 105 headphones as they are both the same price well hi Nick the ml85 and the email 105 headphones are both using monlab's proprietary Wireless technology there's a higher quality sound reproduction than standard Bluetooth headphones the main difference is visual in the ml 8010 ml 105 have a chunkier or bigger look and the ml85 are a little Slimmer with smaller ear cuffs the weight of the ml85s are a bit lighter at 220 grams when compared to the weight of the ml 105s which come in at 280 grams I hope that's uh some sort of assistance for you and thank you for the question next up we have a question from Mark who writes how deep are the miner how deep are the Knox 800 waterproof too it does warranty cover machines after the normal warranty period has passed thanks for the question the mono of X1 oxide home red is waterproof down to three meters and the warranty period is three years on the unit once the warranty period has ended the machine is no longer covered by factory warranty but it can still be repaired at the owner's cost my lab and the miners Den authorize service centers are very good to customers and will do our best to get you backup of rating uh operating for a minimal cost usually uh you'll still find that support is available for the units for up to seven years after my lab has phased a product out if you have an out of warranty service then it's best to ask for a quote prior to getting the repair done to avoid any confusion or shock on the cost of repairs I hope that gives you uh some help there mark hope you're having a difficulty look please reach out to uh minus then authorized service center in Bendigo and uh we'll get you we'll work on getting you sorted and have a look at what the problem is there look if you've got a question drop it into the feed or post it to one of our regular call outs for questions and I will get you an answer with the correct information and bring it to you live on a future episode of the Minelab show with my life's newest pinpoint of the profile 40 now in stock beachy Bruce has been running it through its paces and has a great tuning trick for us let's have a look at that one now g'day ladies and gentlemen beachy Bruce here for the Minelab show this one's a top tip on the new profine 40 retune feature and something you can get out of it that I don't think many other people realize yet so rather than using the positive and negative to change their sensitivity for this machine we're actually going to pinpoint in onto our 10 gram piece of bully in here this is a silver coin we can tune into it simply by using the retune power button feature so rather than messing around with plus and minus we can go straight in and find our Target resetting our sensitivity as we go rather than one to five sensitivity it's actually infinite and it goes right down to about three millimeters sensitivity of being on a Target and off of a Target so let's have a look at that right now we simply turn our machine on make sure we're set to five sensitivity which we are do a quick re-tune out in the middle of nowhere now we're ready to try and pinpoint our Target so as we come in we're going to hear our Target start to respond now I can reach in at this point I will no longer pick it up out here but as soon as I get a little bit closer it comes back on now watch this guys I can rest it on my thumb five millimeters away re-tune it now literally is the difference between two millimeters so if I back away I get nothing if I come in on the target it's right there now if I've lost my target I can simply re-tune it at a further point out there we go and as soon as I move back into it it's set back to that level of sensitivity again that's a bit of a game changer in my book because now instead of messing around with buttons I can do a simple press go in find my target if I lose it I can backpack out a little bit press it again and get straight in there get my target out of the ground and get on to the next one awesome little feature mine left thank you very much this has been beachy Bruce with the top tip for the Mind lab shade and I'll see you guys next time thank you as always a big thank you to everyone who's
