ground balance

  1. Automatic GB vs. tracking

    Hello, I've noticed with my Multi Kruzer that the automatic GB values do not always match the tracking GB values. At first I thought my machine was not working properly because I was on 70s ground and it was giving me lower values. Last time I was on wet 50s ground and the tracking values...
  2. Equinox noise cancel in the air at waist height or on the ground question

    I have read where some hunters noise cancel with the coil on the ground to get a better reading from the ground. Any thoughts on this technique? Anyone using this method for noise canceling. The theory being that better you ground balance and noise cancel along with lowering the sensitivity the...
  3. how do you tell if you are in highly mineralized soil using an Equinox?

    I have the Equinox 800 and when you manual ground balance you can get a number between -9 and 99. So I assume that a reading of lets stay 88 is highly mineralized soil and a reading of 1 or -9 is no mineralization. am I on the right track? seems the manual on page 40 says nothing about what...

  5. Some Target IDs are different lately.. What used to be a solid number has changed.. ?

    Air testing my new Minelab 705-GoldPack. To replace my older ML. Anyway the air testing numbers are slightly different from my old ML. Another 705 user here sent his coil back because it was reading a higher number. Like from 42 to 44 for example. As these 705s can be adjusted so precisely, he...
  6. Manual Ground Balance - Thoughts? Advice?

    Ok, so I've got the AT Pro. Been using it about 4 months now and finding some issues in my local soil. Ground is showing an auto ground balance number of 77-80 and is a dark soil with good amount of pete in it. Expecting to find more than I am, wondering if maybe the conditions are making the...
  7. Can manual threshold and ground balance be added to a Tesoro Silver Umax machine?

    I've read they can, but the articles I've read so far pertain to older "Silver Sabre" Umax models. Mine is a new type Umax bought in October 2012. I'd like to add manual threshold and ground balance controls to it if possible, and I've been led to believe from what I've read so far that it's...
  8. Bounty Hunter Quick Draw II- Ground Balance?

    Hi all. I have been hunting now for about 6 months off and on with my BH Quick Draw II. I have already learned that the more you use it, the better you get. Haven't found anything of much value yet but am enjoying myself. A question: is there a way to ground-balance the QD II? I saw nothing in...
  9. Spectra V3. NEED HELP ON THE BEACH!!

    Went out again with the spectra V3 today for just a couple of hours. I do still have trouble with ground balancing the detector in wet sand as the signal seems not to stabilise after pumping to the coil up and down several times. I do not think I'm doing anything wrong, but i also think the...

    I about to buy the Ace 350 but am concerned about its limited ground balance. I will be mostly using it here in the Colorado Mountains and back woods areas and am concerned about the heavily mineralized and clay soils. Does anyone have experience with the 350 in areas like this? Do I really need...
