Azoverland Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 When is the right time to switch to specific GB type. I have tried to used this mode but I have yet to succesfully really ground balance the machine. I am using the 11" mono coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted February 28, 2011 Admin Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hey AZOverLand, I have yet to find a location that needs "specific" ground balance. I can pretty much hunt everywhere with the normal balance and even with a Monoloop coil. I would like to hear from others if they have ever had to use "specific" balance on a GPX metal detector. I have yet to find a location that it's needed, but you never know ... Take care,Rob Allison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The only person I've heard of that has used Specific Ground Balanceis El Dorado, maybe he can comment on this very little-discussed setting.I for one am all ears.Flak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I guess I'm a pragmatist, but if ain't broke don't fix it. Normal GB has yet to fail me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dorado Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have not needed to use it in the US. I did find a use in Brazil in two different areas. You could not get the coil within a foot of the ground it was so mineralized, plus the mineralization would change rapidly within a few feet. The Specific GB turned out to work very well in those situations. It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but this was the dirt just after a dozer push. In person, the color change in the dirt showed up well, each color change was a completely different very hot mineralization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you may try turning your gain down .good luck Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
