First put detector in all metal mode via toggle switch, adjust threshhold knob to a slight hum, sens. knob to 7-8, now adjust ground setting. To adjust ground setting hold the coil about 6" above ground now slowly lower coil to approx. 1/2" above ground, if the threshhold sound went up, turn down the grnd knob some: if the sound went down, turn the grnd knob up, repeat this procedure until the threshold doesn't go up or down ie it stays pretty much the same as the 6" above grnd tone. Now you are ready to hunt in the all metal ground compensated position. Have fun.

Thanks guys. is the tune /auto /norm toggle just a manual or auto ground balance feature and when would I use that? thanks again
