Red Heat Question Tornado Question

[Happy_Hour]

Just purchased this detector with reverse discrimination on craigs list...Powers up, discrimination works, depth not that impressive, all metal seems to work...

My question, how to ground balance. There are no markings showing which dials are what and maybe the depth is not that impressive because I could be doing the set up all wrong...

As far as handling bad ground, I have no idea if this detector does what it is suppose to do, the ground is netural where I live...Will be going to north Georgia to detect in the red clay and would like to at least know how to set up properly...

The one knob(by itself) on one side is the tone control,either high or low,no inbetween.On the other side is a switch and 3 knobs.The switch is low power(ahead) and high power(back towards knobs).The first knob is your discrimination control,(straght ahead is 0 disc).The 2nd knob is the ground control.The white line on top of the knob if lined up with the red pre-set dot will work on 90% of your sites.To manual ground balance,set discrim to 0, lift and lower coil from the ground vertically(without touching the ground)bring in ground effect(noise)by turning ground knob clockwise,still lowering and raising the coil,turn knob anticlockwise until ground noise just disappears( its ground balanced now).Make sure no metal under coil while doing this.The last knob is the on/off and sensitivity control.If you turn the sensitivity fully clockwise it may become unstable,back off until it settles down and that will be the optimum point of the sen setting. Your ready to go.
