Assembling your Land Star Metal
Detector is easy and requires no spe-
cial tools. Just follow these steps:
1. Using the supplied bolt and
knurled knob, attach the search-
coil to the lower stem. Attach the
control panel to the upper stem
with the two knurled knobs sup-
plied.
2. Press the button on the upper end
of the lower stem and slide the
lower stem into the upper stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that lets
you maintain a comfortable upright
posture, with your arm relaxed at your
side and the searchcoil level to the
ground and about 1/2 to 2 inches
above the ground.

3. Wind the searchcoil cable around
the stem. Leave enough slack in
the cable to let you adjust the coil
when you are hunting on uneven
ground. Then tighten the knob at
the end of the searchcoil.
Note: To adjust the coil, simply loosen
the knob.
4. Insert the coil's plug into the
matching connector on the con-
trol housing. Be sure the holes
and pins line up correctly.
Cautions:
• Do not force the plug or you might
damage it.
• To disconnect the cable, pull out the
plug. Do not pull on the cable.

After selecting your choice of mode
for operation, swing the searchcoil
gently side-to-side, slightly overlap-
ping each sweep as you move for-
ward. Make sure you keep your
searchcoil approximately 1" above
ground as you search. Raising it in the
sweep or at the ends of your sweep
will cause false readings. Move slowly,
hurrying will only cause you to miss
targets.

are easily recognized by their often
broken or non-repeatable nature.
The Land Star is a very sensitive and
deep-seeking detector. It will loudly
respond to many targets that other de-
tectors would only emit a weak signal
for. Because of this, trash-induced sig-
nals and other sources of interference
may emit signals that seem confus-
ing. The main key to handling these
types of false signaling is to dig only
