If you go down about 19 posts you will see "Vaquero on youtube" by Craig, I think the Cortes and Vaquero ground balance about the same, would'nt hurt to look.

only functional in the All Metal mode. The motion Discriminate mode relies on a factory preset internal GB trimmer. If you live in an area of higher iron mineralization, you might want to check out a Cortes before you buy it. The two I owned, and every Cortes and DeLeon I have owned or used, has had a too-negative GB for our bad soil (NW Oregon) and falsed like the dickens! Worse if I opted for a larger coil, such as the CleanSweep or larger 10X12 because it sees more ground.

To perform GB is easy:

Hold the search coil abut 8" off the ground.

Set it in the All Metal mode, with a higher Sensitivity setting, and adjust the Threshold tuner for a slight audio hum.

Lower the coil towards the ground. The goal is to have the Threshold audio remain the same from about 6"-8" high down to about

Yeah........I watched the video, it seemed to me that he adjusted the ground balance a little too positive, but what do I know.
