Manual Ground Balance
18
After adjusting my Sensitivity setting, I establish the proper Ground 
Balance (GB). Once again, each model (with the exception of the X-TERRA 
30, which has a factory preset GB) has a dierent degree of “ne tuning” 
for Ground Balance. 
The 50 and 305 oer Manual Ground Balance with settings ranging from 
0 to 20. The 505 oers Manual Ground Balance with settings ranging from 
0 to 50. And the 70 and 705 oer Manual Ground Balance with settings 
ranging from 0 to 90. The 70 and 705 oer the ability to set your Ground 
Balance automatically and operate in either a Tracking or Beach Tracking. 
The 705 also allows the user to oset the Ground Balance setting while in 
Tracking .
Ground Balance is the simplest form of discrimination in that it allows you 
to adjust the ground phase of your detector to compensate for the level 
of ground mineralization. In other words, you are setting your detector in 
an eort to discriminate out the adverse eects of the ground. Note that 
the X-TERRA has the ability to operate eectively in both magnetic and 
conductive ground.
