Ground Balance #'s ?

[Tired Rooster]

I've read in some of the more recent posts talk about GB numbers in relation to which coil type may or may not work the best in a given area. ie (lower GB # may mean DD HF works best. Higher GB# may mean LF coil may be best). Question is...is the GB # being referred to simply the # that is on the screen once the detector is ground balanced? Also......if this is the case, I guess that means that the lower the #, the more mineralized the soil? Thus the higher the # the milder the soil? I know that these type of questions are always popping up. But this is not so much a coil question as it is a question about the GB # that is on the TID screen and what this means about the soil type.

Try looking in the FAQ where there's a link to the information you want.

I've found that a combination of low GB numbers along with having to lower SENS to maintain stability, generally means that I'm not seeing as deep as I might with a higher frequency, if it allows me to run my SENS higher.

Thanks BB. I'm reading and rereading alot of this stuff. I'm just really trying to grasp a good understanding of it. I figure that if I can get a better than average understanding it will help my success as I go. Thanks again. (you too Longhair)
