Hi Dave
Went out on the weekend here in the NT and found plenty of 2gm lead bullets, it was near one of the shooting reserves here so thought i may find some. You mention ground balancing the Infinium in slow and fast, I may not be doing that right as the book says it has automatic ground balance????? Could you please explain the procedure in more detail?

Hi Glen
There are many on this forum with more time on the Infinium than I have and I hope they will jump in and correct or add to this post for you. I have gleaned this information from various posts on this and other forums and anyone who recognises some of the things I write here as being very similar to any posts they have made, then I thank them for their input.
Try this setup process
Turn the machine on and place in the lock position, check and tune out external interference
You should always check for external interference in the lock position, there is a chance that if you try to adjust this in fast or slow the Infinium may try and ground balance the interference out, which would give an incorrect ground balance.
Change to fast track, ground balance
Pump the Infinum slowly up and down, and when it settles rest it on the ground for a few seconds. (this point will probably be contentious)
Change to slow track, ground balance
Repeat the process in slow
Turn back to lock
Lock will give you the best depth, but if the INF is still chatty and this will be fairly rare on the goldfields turn it back to slow and leave it there.
Set threshold to between 4 and 6 ( it does give you more sensitivity)
I have found the INF makes a clearer target response with this setting in my case on 5 and highlights some small targets that I cant hear with the threshold on 0
Leave discrim on 0
Keep swing speed slow
Again I hope that others with more experience and expertise than I have will add or give their points of view which you can then experiment with and develop into your own system.
Hope this helps and remember if you are finding lead or other targets there is no reason why you can
