Is manual ground adjust better than fixed ground adjust?
A fixed or automatic (ie factory preset) detector will always give good performance, no matter what type of ground you are hunting on. A manually adjusted machine may increase the detection depth by a small amount, but only if the adjustment is very accurately carried out. Incorrect adjustments may give horrendous results. For the average user, a preset or automatic detector’s performance is superior to the results that might be obtained with an improperly adjusted manual machine.
