I see a lot of people on the forums and on my YT channel comments complaining that their Garrett Propointer has falsing issues. What really surprised me is how many of those people didn't know about the ground balancing feature.
If you turn on your pinpointer while holding it in the air, it will pick up ground mineralization when you're trying to locate your target. I think this is what a lot of people refer to as falsing. To make the pinpointer ignore the ground, or "ground balance", simply hold your pinpointer tip to the dirt in the side of the hole (but away from the target) when turning it on. After doing this, the pinpointer will still pick up the target while ignoring the ground. Try it!
