1. Select ALL METAL mode;
2. Perform Manual GROUND BALANCE procedure in location where there is no metal
present;
3. While keeping search coil parallel to the ground, begin pumping the search coil up and
down repeatedly from about 15 - 20 cm (6''- 8'') above the ground down to 3 - 6 cm (1''-2”)
above the ground maintaining smooth, even movement of coil.
4. Carefully listen to THRESHOLD sounds as you raise and lower the coil during pumping
action noting any changes in sound during either the raising or lowering of coil. If the
sound increases as the coil is raised away from the ground, the GROUND BALANCE value
is too low and should be gradually increased until the THRESHOLD sound stabilizes with
no noticeable difference in sound as coil is raised and lowered. If the sound increases as
the coil is lowered towards the ground, the GROUND BALANCE value is too high and
should be gradually lowered until the THRESHOLD sound stabilizes with no noticeable
difference in sound.
The GROUND BALANCE dial turns clockwise and counter-clockwise infinitely. We
recommend that you turn the GROUND BALANCE knob slowly to be able to follow minute
changes in the ground response. Again, you will gradually gain skill at Manual GROUND
BALANCE through experience.
NOTE:
GROUND BALANCE may not completely eliminate ground interference in some
areas. In these rare instances, carefully listen to the sounds produced when moving the
search coil towards and away from the ground to check if the GROUND BALANCE is
correct (i.e. slight sound is consistent when moving coil towards and away from ground).
If sounds are consistent, GROUND BALANCE is set properly.
RECOMMENDATION:
Experienced detectorists using the
Au GOLD FINDER
when
manually adjusting the GROUND BALANCE setting to provide slight positive response
(very weak but audible sound when moving the search coil towards the ground). This
method may produce favorable results for experienced Users in certain fields where small
gold nuggets are searched for.
Directions for Manual GROUND BALANCE:
-TRACKING automatically updates
