[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 366609, member: 3149"] Yes you can do this, but probably only need to do it for ten seconds or so. When you are detecting if you get a signal and then after a few sweeps it goes away, this is the (permanent) Auto Tracking doing its thing. Move the coil off to the side of where you were just sweeping and pump the coil up and down. If you don't get any response, that means you are ground balanced and you can keep searching. If you do get a response, that will tell you the detector was probably trying to ground balance out a hot rock or other hot spot which has cause the ground balance to be out for the surrounding ground. You need to keep pumping until the noise goes away. For me, I prefer manual Sensitivity as I can figure things out a bit better. When in Auto, there is two Auto functions happening (Sensitivity and Ground Balance) and I don't feel comfortable as I don't know what's going on. [/QUOTE]
