Some detector manuals describe the "Bobber technique" as a way of ground balancing a detector. In all metal mode you lift and lower the col from the ground your plannng to hunt and raise or lower the GB control knob for steady threshold sound.

[size=medium].......done with 4-5 fishing bobbers tied with monofilament fishing line to one ounce or so bank style fishing sinkers and then those sinkers are shallowly buried at lowtide in the active surf.....The line has to have enough slack so that the surf doesn't yank the sinkers out of the sand...they are left to soak for a tide of two.......the goal here is to see where the sinkers end up and just how deep they sink and travel with the currennt as the sand moves. it sounds good.....but I think that it is alot harder to accomplish then Andy touts in his book.....anyway....there it is in a nutshell....HH....Brian [/size]

I might give that a shot. Figure if I anchor the line with a stake and put a lot of line on it with the sinkers I'll be able to find it again. I'll post the results soon as I get it done.
