IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES

PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by "X-ing"
the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response, continue
sweeping the coil over the target in
a narrowing side-to-side pattern.
2. Take visual note of the place on the
ground where the "beep" sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this spot
on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight forward
and straight back towards you a
couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the spot
on the ground at which the "beep"
sounds.
6. If needed, "X" the target at
different angles to "zero in" on the
exact spot on the ground at which
the "beep" sounds.
NOTE: This modern Metal Detector is referred to as a Motion Detector since it
can respond to a target only while the searchcoil is being moved over the Target.

COIL MOVEMENT

When swinging the coil, be careful
to keep it level with the ground about
one inch from the surface. Nev­er
swing the coil like a pendulum.
WRONG
CORRECT
QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION
VI. Press the MODE touch pad again.
a. A flashing indicator will point toward IRON.
b. The flashing indicator tells us that Iron has
been eliminated from detection.
VII. Wave the Nail over the Search Coil
a. The Nail will not be detected.
b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out."
VIII. Wave the Quarter, Penny, and Pull-Tab
over the Search Coil
These non-ferrous objects will be detected
with their own distinctive tones.
IX. Press the MODE touch pad again.
a. The detector will beep and the sensitivity setting will flash on the left
side of the display.
b. Notice the flashing arrow pointing toward Iron.
The flashing arrow indicates that this target category is currently
"Discriminated Out."
X. Press the MODE touch pad again.
The flashing arrow will now point toward
MID-RANGE.
XI. Wave all objects over the Search Coil
The Pull-Tab and Zinc Penny will not be
detected.
The other objects will be detected with their
own distinctive tones.
XII. Toggle modes by pressing the MODE
touch pad again.
a. Press once to see the current discrimination status of the detector (Mid-
Range Eliminated).
b. Then press again to toggle to the third discrimination setting.
i. Iron is eliminated.
ii. Mid-Range Metals are eliminated.
iii. Only high-tone metals like silver and copper will be detected.
