Time Ranger Questions

[WV Hillbilly]

My time ranger has a ground monitor meter . It is half moon shaped with 0 in the center and goes from 0 to - 3 on the left and 0 to + 3 on the right . Most of the places I hunt in my area the meter reads - 3 or - 2 . This is in disc program . Wouldn't a 0 reading be ideal . I may be mistaken but I don't think manual ground balance works in disc programs . I haven't had it to long so I'm still learning . It ground balances very easily in all metal mode . Also I've read the time ranger has been upgraded 3 times so if true that means there are 4 different time rangers out there . Is there any way to tell which is the latest version or which version I have ? I bought it new from Kellyco 12 / 06 if that makes any difference . Thanks in advance if you can help .

I have a Time Ranger and have had tremendous luck with it. In West Tenn. I usually get the same readings on the mineralization ( -2 to -3 ) and you are correct the manual g.b. only works in all metal mode. I have had mine for @ 2 months and i have found 2 silver dimes, several relics and a ww2 paratroopers pin in a yard that i had hunted with a whites and garrett detector and thought i had got most of the good items out of. The detector i have is more accurate at i.d. than i thought it would be, after getting a repeatable signal in both directions i check my numerical reading and about 95% of the time i can tell you what i have found before i dig it. It is a great machine if you spend the time to learn it well.

Good Luck, Tnredneck
