QUESTION MANUAL GROUND BALANCE VAQUERO

[Keppy]

I was thinking of getting a VAQUERO i never had to ground balance even though i have detected for 14 years .I read about ground balancing and they say simple move the detector up & down and thumb it untill it has the same tone going up & down.Now some one told me today that when you first get the VAQUERO you have to turn the balance knob counter clock wise 5 times is that true and why?

There is no need to do that. There used to be a video on Tesoro's web site demonstrating ground balance. If it is still there it is easier to follow than the written explanation in the manual. Ground balancing is not difficult at all.

The turning the knob 5 times makes sure the knob ground balance is at the far settings up against the stops. When you then turn it up to the top, it is in the middle of the adjustment. The manual tells you to do this to make sure the detector knob was set up at the factory correctly.

First, please turn the caps lock off - its the netiquette equivalent of YELLING!!

Next, GB'ing the Vaquero couldnt be any easier. THere is nothing to fear and you soon get the hang of it. Then you can try Power Balancing...
