unearth Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have a Garrett carrot and I have noticed in some videos that people using them turn them on while touching the turf or sand before using them to find their target. I know why this is done, but is it really necessary? I was wondering how many of you, on this forum, do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB_Amateur Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I think it just depends upon your ground minerals. Low mineralization -- you don't need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yup, just a way to tune the Carrott to ground that it would signal on otherwise. If you turn the pinpointer on in the air, and it then signals when put to bare dirt... that is a sign that you need to have the tip to the ground before you turn it on. This works for many pinpointer models. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not absolutely necessary however ground balancing the pin pointer in this manner reduces false signals and gives more accurate pin pointing of the target before digging.
