Thanks Peter that is good to hear i first purchased a Eureka gold this was my first mistake for this area due to high minerlization as a old time prospector i have gone from the ridicules to the extreme.
He stated to do you now how to play a piano i said no he said you have bought yourself a piano now you have to learn how to use it.
This is very true but this is what i enjoy doing and they family like it to.

Where are you Peter and what machine are you using ??

Welcome & good luck dmillar,
There is some handy info on here for setting up your 5000, other than that read your manual, then read it again then post your questions if you require further help.
Looking forward to hearing how you get on.



Good luck & safe travels
Peter
