It just depends on where you are hunting. It can be 1-100 times. I have only had to re GB a couple of times and it is so quick to do that its not a issue.

I set the ground balance at each location I go to with my Eldorado. It only takes a few seconds.

Each area, here in Idaho anyway, is a little different.

During my my hunt, i'll flip off disc mode just to make sure my tone is still set, then I continue on.

As often as needed... lol.

Normally every time you start hunting in a new area. If it is a large area and different parts of the area start to cause your detector to "chirp" or act funny. Just re-balance. For the most part though I have found it is, set it and forget it.

I always set up the ground balance on my Vaquero at the beginning of each hunt. It is so easy to do. HH . . .
