“PUSHBUTTON” GROUND BALANCE METHOD
This will probably be your method of choice in all but the most
difficult of ground conditions. It’s fast, easy and accurate. You
can use this method in either the Autotune or Target ID mode.
1.
With your controls set as in the “Turn-On” procedure,
(GROUND control at 10), hold the search coil
parallel to and 6 to 12 inches off the ground. Press
the PINPOINT button and hold it until you’ve
completed step 2. Make sure you’re at least three
feet away from any metal objects.
2.
Still pressing the PINPOINT button, lower the coil to
the ground. Starting at 10, rotate the GROUND
control clockwise until you hear an audio tone.
Then back it off to the exact point where the tone
disappears. Release the PINPOINT button and
you’re ready to search.
NOTES:
1.
If you get an audio response as you first lower the coil with
the GROUND control at 10, you’re probably over a piece
of metal. Move and try again.
2.
If you get a sudden belltone not proceeded by an increasing
audio response as you lower the coil, you’re probably in
some very highly mineralized soil or sand. In this case, it’s
best to use the “Bobbing” method.
3.
If you don’t get any audio response, or just a very faint one
as you rotate the GROUND control from 10 all the way to 0,
you’re probably in an area where there’s very little ground
mineralization. Just leave the GROUND control at 10 and
begin searching.
4.
Recheck your ground balance occasionally and make sure
you haven’t accidentally moved the MODE switch.
