As I stated in another posting, I have ordered my 800 and it should be here this week.
I am new to this hobby only having used a cheap small detector in the past. I have been watching videos and reading what I can, but I am hoping someone can explain ground balancing and the frequencies to me.
I plan on going to the beach in the next week or two so I need a crash course. The beach is where I will mainly be using this detector.
What setting do I use for the beach for dry sand, wet sand, and shallow water/surf? I understand there are pre-set settings in the 800?
Do I need to do a ground balance? If so how? Plus, what exactly is this and how often does this have to be done?
I have been reading about the 800 and all the frequencies settings available. Do I set the frequency or does it do it automatically?
How do i know what frequency do I want to use?
I have been looking at on line videos but cannot find any that address these issues.
Thank you and I know there will be more questions to follow.
