I have the older Compadre with the 7" Coil and would like to re-adjust the GB. I found this pic of the board and the pot in the red square is the sens. Which one is the GB pot?

Monte is the one who coined the phrase "Power ground balancing" and was the first to post how to do it on the forums. Below is how it's done, I wrote the first paragraph but the rest of it, the bold text, I copied from a post Monte made a few years ago on another forum. The ground balance pot is the other pot, at bottom center in the photo of the board in your Compadre, and again, mark the current position and be careful when making the adjustment.

Set Discrimination at the minimum setting, turn on your Compadre and scan a spot of ground to make sure no metal is present.

Quickly bob the search coil towards-and-away from the ground, going from the 6"-8" height down to about
