BASIC OPERATION
DISCRIMINATION Mode - continued
• Turn the right knob, DISCRIMINATION,
to eliminate additional unwanted
items from detection as illustrated to
the right.
approximate; objects are found in
many shapes and sizes.
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.
A valuable target is indicated by a
consistent tone and a repeatable
target indication as you sweep back
and forth over the same spot on the ground. Non-repeating tones usually
indicate the presence of trash objects or highly oxidized metals.
You can increase the level of sensitivity, depending on the ground
conditions. If the detector emits false signals, simply reduce the Sensitivity
until the false signals cease. The detector will work well with the Sensitivity
in the 2:00 or 3:00 position, but higher Sensitivity settings will increase depth
detection. If you need maximum depth detection, operate in the ALL METAL
Mode, which allows for higher Sensitivity control settings.
Note that gold is unfortunately discriminated out with common trash
items. Gold's metallic signature covers a broad portion of the metallic
spectrum. If searching for gold jewelry in trashy areas, use AUTO NOTCH
and be prepared to dig up some trash items in your search for gold.
