mineralization near me

[webphut]

I live in Magnolia, Texas. I do not know what the mineralization is like in Magnolia, Texas. Is ground balancing necesary for the soil here?

Yes. Ground balancing is important everywhere. You are making the conductive minerals in the soil disappear when you ground balance. I have been places in the Pan Handle, where I had to re-balance every 15-yards.

See, Thats kind of what I already knew, not to sound like a know it all, but I can not figure out how a lot of these detectors work without the ground balance.

Examples; The Ace series of detectors (minus the apex) from Garrett come to mind first, but I believe Nokta has a few without ground balance. XP and Minelab if memory serves me correctly has not a ground balance, but they seem to have an auto ground balance and something else mixed in with it under their own patented technology/names.

I have read several folks posts on the internet who use these beginner detectors and they are finding stuff. Maybe I just not up to date on the tech, but also, my only experience is with the gold master 3 from whites back in the 1990's and if I wasnt dialing that thing in every minute or two, I wasnt finding anything. Is it not like that with the new detectors?
