Automatic Ground Balance

Ground balance can be performed by three ways in 

GOLD RACER

: Automatic, Manual and 

Tracking.
If the trigger is pushed forward while performing automatic or manual ground balance, the 

device will switch to the All Metal mode automatically on the background without any 

indication to the user, regardless of the selected search mode.
Upon completion of ground balance, current ground balance value is shown next to the 

GROUND PHASE text in the bottom of the display.

Automatic ground balance is performed as follows in all search modes:
1. Find a spot where there is no metal.
2. Push the ground balance trigger forward (GROUND BALANCE value and “Pump Coil” warning 

message is shown on the display) and start pumping the search coil up and down from about 

15-20 cm (~6''- 8'') above the ground down to 3 cm (~1'') off the ground with smooth 

movements and keeping it parallel to the ground.
3. Continue until a beep, indicating the completion of ground balance, is heard. Based on 

ground conditions, it usually takes about 2-4 pumps for the ground balance to be completed.
4. Upon completion of the ground balance, ground balance value is shown on the display. The 

device continues to ground balance and produce a beep sound as long as you keep the trigger 

pushed forward and pump the coil. In order to ensure that the ground balance is proper, ground 

balance at least 2-3 times and check the ground balance values on the display. In general, the 

difference between the values shall not be higher than 1-2 numbers.
5. If you cannot ground balance, in other words, if no beep sound is produced, it means that 

either the ground is too conductive or not mineralized or there is a target right below the search 

coil. In such a case, retry ground balance at a different spot. Perform manual ground balance if it 

still fails.
When the ground balance trigger is released, the device continues to operate in the All Metal 

mode for a short period of time and ground balance value stays on the display. This makes it 

possible to manually fine tune the automatic ground balance value. Refer to the following 

Manual Ground Balance section for further information regarding this feature. If this is not 

desired, pull and release the trigger once to return to the main screen.
