ground balancing an AT Pro

[Caretaker me]

The weather was some one nice today, so I took my Pro out to a patch of dirt I have on the side of the house, mine you it just a path way and is surrounded by 3 feet of snow , I 'm trying to get this GB down, when I auto GB, I can get it to balance at 84, does this sound right, my iron disc is screwed up, but it does go up to 40 but the 10 digit is not there, but I can see the little light change and it changes enough for it to go to 40,it does 4 cycles of 0 to 9, it hard to find ground that is total free from metal, when ground balancing, can I balance over metal

I would presume that the GB setting of '84' is correct, but only you can know for sure. Every one's ground is different, even if you walk around back, cross the street or drive across town.

Just briskly bob the search coil from only about 8" down to about
