5)
Over that clean patch of ground raise and lower your coil repeatedly in a steady motion
from about 8” to 1” from the ground whilst listening to the audio, now whilst raising
and lowering the coil to the ground start to turn the ground balance dial to the right
slowly till you hear the quietest point in the audio, once you achieve that point in the
audio your ground balance phase is complete.
If you can’t manage to make the Vista X fall silent at this point then reduce the
threshold to the point it’s easier to hear the silent point whilst raising and lowering
the coil to the ground.
In some cases you may have to increase the gain and threshold further to hear audio
feedback from the Vista X, but providing you can clearly hear a change audio when
raising the coil up and down to the ground you’re at the right point on the controls.
In highly mineralized soils it may be the case that you have to lower or even run your
gain at its lowest point to achieve the optimal performance and stability in such highly
mineralized soil conditions!!

Your Vista X is now Ground Balanced. If the soil conditions change significantly (by
moving from a plowed field into a wooded area for instance), you must ground balance
your Vista X again as described above.
You may Ground Balance in the Disc. Mode or All Metal Mode instead, but setting the Ground
Balance in the Two Tone Mode is more precise. You can then switch to which ever mode you
choose.
If you are receiving false signals from iron oxides in pottery or “Hot Rocks”, you can then
Ground Balance the Vista X directly over these objects to eliminate signals from these
unwanted targets.
