I’ve never needed to ground balance mine, I just leave it at 0 like minelab reccomended. But my soil isn’t very mineralized

Hi Michigander.
The 600 can detect gold.
Ground balance, it will work without doing it but will be more efficient doing it.
I myself don’t recommend using auto track balance.

You guys saying you GB a lot. You do find a clean spot on the ground, and don't simply GB any-old-where. You can do more harm than good if you don't.

Leave it at 0 and it will find you plenty of silver in our area.

I ground balance all the time. I first do a noise cancel then immediately afterwards ground balance.

Turn the darn thing on. Pick your mode. Noise cancel and hunt. The rest is BS.

That's not very friendly goodmore. No one including me said you have to hunt any particular way or there is something wrong with you detecting using default 0. If you don't need to ground balance, by all means don't. I wish I got to hunt on ground like that. For the folks like me that do need to manually ground balance, for whatever you consider a "BS" reason, it is great to have the option (why did Minelab go to the trouble to include different ways to ground balance on the Equinox?????).

If i didn't GB in my soil i wouldn't dig half the good stuff i do.
If the ground is mineralized and you want to know if the deep target is ferrous or non ferrous, you need to GB.

I bet you aren't able to run Multi mode then. I tested GB a lot in my home garden and I honestly never found any noticeable improvement after a GB, running multi-mode.
