[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 607856, member: 3149"] Ground balance is key, and make sure you do it as the last step before detecting, especially if you've switched ground modes. I have got in the habit of doing it as per the manual, pull quick-trak, pump coil and then swing coil side to side, then release quick-trak. Also, avoid narrow repeated sweeps when interrogating a potential target, as the response may diminish. Keep a wide sweep so the detector can see enough surrounding ground. If you find a signal has faded away, sweep the coil around the target, i.e. sweep the coil in a circle around where you heard a target response, then re-check. If it's ground noise it should still be silent, but it's a metal target you should be able to hear it again. If in doubt, scrape a couple inches of surface material off and re-check. [/QUOTE]
