First off obviously a newby here?
How often should I expect to ground balance?
What are the indications another ground balance is needed?

+ 1 , you will also check if you notice in the way your MD is acting HHDepends....
Many detectors auto adjust, for manual types some hunters check it a lot and others just at the beginning of a hunt and that's it.
All ground is not equal and I have hunted in areas where it could change every 10 feet but I don't worry about balancing that much...I just check it occasionally as I move around.
Ground Balancing should make for optimal hunting but even if it is not balanced perfectly most detectors will still work well and find the good stuff.
I have found great things pretty deep and after checked the GB and found I was off but for the absolute deepest targets and in the most difficult ground...and for your own piece of mind, just balance and hunt but don't obsess about it.
