HELP Ground Balance Tigershark

A

Anonymous

Guest
I have been hunting with a Tesoro Tigershark that I bought new about 2months ago. I have not been having to much problems with the manual ground balance but today when I went relic hunting in a creek it was very unstable. I tried to get it set to the water conditions but never could it just kept chirping and everytime I hit the bottom it would start beeping and chirping again. I have done everything the manual says but I was wondering if anyone has any tricks that may fixs this problem. Thanks for letting me take up a bit of your time and Happy hunting. The machinge is suppose to be a silent search but I have yet to get it complete;y that way.:rage:
 
Check these possibles,...maybe you have but just in case, make sure that you are ground balancing over no metal objects. First sweep the area to see if there is any response. Also, "bob" the coil in the water. Find water about a foot deep to do this. If water is fresh make sure you are not in salt mode. Make sure that your coil wire is wrapped snuggly around the pole and the connection to the "box" is tight. Make sure batteries are not on their last leg. If all that checks out alright, ya may want to open her up and tweek the sensitivity back a bit...laast resort...but before that do a test run in another body of water. It may be a quirk area you are working. Hope this helps and happy hunting!:)
 
Thanks Woods Walker I will try this I have already done some adjustments on the Sensitivity and tried it over non metal ground and I am still getting some bad chattering. Thanks and will keep working at it.:rage:
 
6-13-05, my Tiger was giving me some chatter up on high and dry. I just made sure that I rechecked my ground balance. That chatter went away after a bit. It doesn't bother me though. I don't confuse it with repeatable signals in the ground. Maybe it is a fluke but on the same piece of ground, my Tiger has found things with an 8" coil that I had missed 2 weeks before with my XLT with a 9.5 coil.This wasn't one thing it was many. And this is in my yard, high and dry not on the beach where the Tiger is supposed to be at its best. Also, at present I have not not touched the factory settings.
I haven't looked, but maybe there is something in the owners manual addressing this.
Best of luck on the road to treasure!;)
