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.
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an "X",
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.

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.

BASIC OPERATION

TURN THE DETECTOR ON
Go outdoors to your desired treasure-hunting location.
Click the left knob to the on position.
Three tones will sound.
The detector automatically enters the ALL-METAL Mode.
NO-MOTION ALL-METAL MODE
To operate in this mode:
• Hold the search coil over the ground surface, about 1/2 inch.
• Press the GroundTrac Touchpad.
The detector will emit only one monotone sound, regardless of the type
of metal detected.
If the detector emits a constant tone, retune the detector, by pressing
GROUND TRAC, with the search coil just above the ground surface. Make
sure that the ground area chosen for tuning the detector does not contain
metal; if unsure, switch into DISC mode and verify that the detector does not
emit tones as you sweep the coil over the chosen spot.
Ground conditions can change over short distances. Until you become
familiar with the detector's volume level, retune the detector periodically by
pressing the GroundTrac button.
Temperature changes also require retuning in the no-motion ALL METAL
Mode. If the detector emits a constant tone, or loses sensitivity, retune. If
you have stored the detector indoors and move outdoors immediately to a
different temperature environment and begin detecting, retune the detector
periodically until the coil temperature stabilizes.
necessary in the ALL-METAL Mode.
MOTION ALL-METAL Mode
To operate in this mode:
• Turn the right knob, Disc/Notch, 100% counterclockwise, to the off
position.
• Press the DISC button.
• Reduce the Sensitivity Control to the 2:00 or 3:00 position.
• Sweep the coil over the surface of the ground.
The detector will emit one of three tones, depending on the type of metal
detected.
The top display will indicate the type of metal targeted.
The bottom display will indicate the depth, in inches, of coin-sized objects.
A worthwhile target is evidenced by a consistent tone, and a repeatable
target and depth indication as you sweep back and forth over the same spot
on the ground. Non-repeatable tones indicate the presence of trash objects
or highly oxidized metals.
This retuning is only
