Operating Recommendations - Garrett Scorpion gold stinger Owner's Manual

OpErATiNG rECOmmENDATiONS

As you operate and use your Garrett Scorpion
Gold Stinger, you will quickly grow more
proficient in its use. It is recommended that you
build your own test plot. Bury several items,
including a nail, a piece of foil, a pull tab, a
bottle cap and several coins at depths of about
two to eight inches and a foot apart. Clearly
mark the location where each article is buried.
Practice scanning the targets while listening to
and studying the detection signals.
Remember that newly buried objects, especially
coins, will be somewhat more difficult to detect
than items that have been buried for some time.
This is primarily a metallurgical phenomenon.
Experiment with various settings of the Trash
Elimination control to see how your detector
responds. Practice trying to pinpoint and locate
targets precisely.
When scanning, do not hurry. Scan the
searchcoil at a speed of about one to two feet
per second. Keep the searchcoil flat and level
to the ground. Move it back and forth slowly and

steadily while you walk at a pace that is
comfortable. Be methodical. Do no skip
any area. Wear headphones for greater
sound perception and concentrate on
your scanning.
After you have operated your Scorpion
Gold Stinger for only a short time,
you will be surprised at how proficient
you have become in its use. Do not
expect to achieve the greatest accuracy
and success, however, until you have
operated the detector for at least 100
hours or more.
