good soil bad soil ?

[JimGilmore]

So where are you and what do you have that you consider bad soil ?

In N. Michigan I consider the ground mild. It ground balances around 85. I get good depth on coins.

My soil is mild to moderate -- probably close to moderate; primarily red (iron-rich) clay. Ground balance usually is in the 50s, with usually about 1 bar on the FE meter...

GB is sometimes as high as 88. I've been in places here in the desert where the mineralization was so bad that you literally could not detect a penny that was on top of the ground.

From what i have read with the First Texas machines, is that GB number does not tell how hot the ground is.
The FE bar does that . My soil is mild and hits in the mid 70s .
My FE bar almost never shows up unless passing over rusty iron.
