Soil balance in the detector - it's worth it or not?
Since the dawn of the history of our hobby, seekers have been ripping various objects from the ground. Usually their attention is focused on this, what is in the ground, and not him as such. It's a mistake - you need to know for good results, what nature does the search area have and how to cause, that for us and our detector it would be the smallest obstacle on the road to hidden treasures.
Many of us, In addition to the search hobby, fishing. This passion, despite the seemingly complete difference, has many common factors and I personally like analogies between these passions. If all the water was released in the pond, all the fish could be chosen with your hands. Similarly, if the soil from the whole field was sieved through a sieve, this detector becomes unnecessary. Is it possible? In practice, no - there is a amount of water and land on the road. So we have to reach for remedies.
In the case of searching, the detector must deal with the ground. The situation is so troublesome, that the ground is very heterogeneous, variable even in small areas. The detector is a sensitive device and the impact of soil on the quality of detection is crucial. Therefore, a solution called ground balance was developed in detectors.
Most of the seekers know this term, However, Gro is not aware of its meaning and possibilities, the detector gives us with the possibility of correcting the ground balance. Unfortunately, not every detector has it and this mainly applies to slightly more expensive equipment. Is there a cheap detection there is a balance at all?
Without the elimination of the soil impact on the signal, work with a detector is essentially impossible. Hence, even if we don't have a balance knob, This does not mean, that the landflow detector does not reduce. It is equipped with a factory setting, You can say a standard. This solution has one basic disadvantage - the exemplary soil is like a statistical blacksmith - in practice it does not exist. Therefore, when having a detector with a stiffly set ground, we will have problems with the quality and depth of detection on soils that deviate from the model for a given model.
Here I have to rely on a small digression, because I was hit by the trend of detectors to nam the factory balance setting "automatic tracking". I don't want to believe, that the detect deteler does not know, How detectors work, So in my opinion it is a conscious misleading of the buyer, because the option of automatic land tracking is reserved for more advanced detectors. Remember, In order not to be fooled by the wonderful offers of detectors without manual/automatic ground balance correction. If the detector does not have such, chance, that at the same time it has automatic tracking is virtually zero.
In Poland, we are dealing with many types of soils, Hence, I recommend the purchase of a detector with the possibility of setting the ground balance. Modern equipment perform this process practically automatically, It is enough to perform a simple activity at the beginning of the exploration and repeat it in the event of a change in soil conditions. It will not only give us better ranges, But above all, more reliable readings of the signals we want, measurably affecting our results.
Here again I will allow myself to be an analogy. Many anglers complain, that there is no fish, because they don't catch anything. Similarly, many complain about the spots, that there is nothing and it is impossible, shouting around, that only the seat is important, And skills and equipment is a minimum impact. So I will ask a rhetorical question - nowadays, do records of fishing fish with a stick and a string from a string, fishing for just like any times? Or that, that they are not fishing is due to the wealth of water, or lack of their preparation and skills? Returning to the search, It is not important how rich our seat is, If we can't approach it correctly. Only a prepared seeker, who knows what to do and how to look will achieve satisfactory results, Even if the search area is not saturated with the phantoms. I can multiply examples from my own experience - a friend is a crown, who pulled out the copper, because in his "canary" he cut out most silver. He described the field as weak, And after entering there by seekers prepared for the fight, it gave a lot of very interesting silver coins, And a friend after a small interval of the technique changed his approach to the seat. Another delicacy caught fire for the search for HS-3 military, However, he did not familiarize himself with the rules of tuning and stated, that the new detector is probably broken, because it howls and there is no coverage.
Returning to the topic, however (Something gives a lot today), Let's remember that, that the ground is our area of work. Without the right approach to him, We have no chance to get it out of our places and equipment, what could we. So let's get acquainted with the characteristics of tuning our detector and remember about this function during searching and check the effects. Unless tests in the air show it, These are the effects in the form of finds certainly.
