A question for Monte

I hope you don't mind Monte, I have cut a piece out from your Power Balancing method that I am wondering about.

Locate a metal-free clean spot of ground to adjust the GB. You might pick some of the more mineralized ground in the area you're searching (and if you have an All Metal mode you can help locate such a spot.

Question: why/how does the All Metal mode help you find a more mineralized spot?

I am a Tejon user, the U.S. version.

Thanks for any help.

Davy.

As most savvy readers know, my instructions for 'Power Balancing' a detector are to help them achieve the best GB using the Discriminate mode. It works with both Threshold-based operation as well as Silent-Search Discrimination models, such as the Tesoro line. It can be easy to locate a more mineralized location to 'Power Balance' by using the Threshold-based All Metal mode. The method is simple.

Adjust the Ground Balance, with a proper slight-audio Threshold hum, for the typical ground you search so that you have a GB that is 'slightly positive.' Slightly positive means the Threshold audio increases just a bit as the coil is lower from about 6" down towards the ground.

With that GB setting, check out a few other spots in your area that might look different enough to maybe be more mineralized. If you lower the search coil from about 6" down to about
 
Also, in a/m mode, you can verify the lack of metal targets in the area that would mess up the g/b setting.:)
 
Thanks Monte, that clarifies it perfectly, now it all makes sense to me.

Cheers slingshot, I'll remember that one, thanks. ;)
