How to boost your depth on deep coins with a negative gb.

[Calabash Digger]

Im using a negative ground balance to make the machine hit 12 inch silver coins way better than the factory preset of 90. this will kill a 12 inch quater set up this way.

Now you are showing the secrets......

I always run negative ground balance.

I believe this is called detuning and it seems to miss the first few inches of dirt. Not that you still wont find coins those inches. But I have used this to go deep and it works for me on both detectors.

What do you do to stop the chatter at lower GB settings like that? It would go absolutely ape-poop if I tried to manually set it to what the reading was (anywhere from 80 to 88 in my area). If I was to ever GB it to 80-84 range...forget it. Was impossible to use.

Disc...reactivity..silencer....didn't matter...preset 90 was just about the only way I could hunt other than a few nice schools/parks.

Obviously I defer to your (any Deus owner) expertise on the machine compared to the 3 short weeks I used it.

It does chatter way more. I raised it from 84 to 86 to 88 to calm it down.I dont like the chatter either it hit almost as good with gb number set at the actual gb number and ran way quieter. I tried the ground notch feature to keep it from making so much fuss. I was told that feature did not affect performance THAT IS NOT TRUE when I used it in my test garden it had a negative effect on depth. The targets I was tagging with it off got weaker signals with it cut on say to 84 or so. The moral of the story is the only way I found to quiet it down was to raise it up,I tried the silencer,tx lowered, sens lowered it still was chattery. I will say this if you can stand it it will peg a deep target I JUST PREFER A QUIETER PROGRAM MOST OF THE TIME WHEN IM GENERAL HUNTING but I do have some hunted out places that this will be in the arsenal when I need it.

Good to know. Ensures me I was not doing something wrong. Land Ranger Pro and Fisher F44 got an extra inch or so going low GB as well...but same deal...chatteriffic. Seems to be the norm for any manually GB'ed detector digital or analog.

Here I was thinking it was a Tesoro trademark they way those guys tout its benefits.

No question it increases depth, sometimes dramatically. I run around 81- 83 mostly w/ some sites letting me get down to the mid 70s. Depends on the site. I dont have any issues with missing shallow targets running like this. I run 18 khz on program 15 with a mirror program on 16 but using 4 khz. Toggling from my program 15 to 16 and then back lets me verify if its deep iron or not. Works extremely well.

That's what the ground notch feature is for. It quiets down the machine at lower gb settings but personally I just run mine at 85 and forget it. I dont use ground notch. The machine will easily hit a dime at 10" just leaving it at 90 as long as your not running high reactivity, silencer, or disc. That's plenty
