IN THE FIELD
ST NCE
Stand with your arm extended in front of
your body. Don't bend or stoop; stand in a
comfortable position. Hold the unit so that
the searchcoil is about 1/2-inch above the
ground. Adjust the searchcoil so that it is
parallel to the ground.
SWEEP
Standing in the search position,
swing the searchcoil gently from
side to side, slightly overlapping
each sweep as you move
forward. Keep your searchcoil
approximately 1/2-inch above
the ground as you search.
Raising it during the sweep ,
or at the ends of your
sweep, can cause false
readings. Move slowly;
hurrying will cause you
to miss targets.
Most desirable objects will respond with a repeatable tone. When
discriminating, iron and foil objects generally do not respond. False
signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or by large
irregular trash objects. These signals are easily recognized by their often
broken or non-repeatable nature.

OPER TION
The Snooper 2 is a "motion" detector. This means that the
searchcoil must be moving to detect the presence of metal. When
practicing with a stationary metal detector, keep the target moving
over the coil. Objects held still under the searchcoil will not be
detected.
THREE MODES OF OPER TION
The Snooper 2 allows for three modes of operation:
LL MET L, TONE ND FULL DISCRIMIN TE
After turning the unit on, and adjusting your Sensitivity to the
desired setting, you're now ready to decide on your mode of
operation.
LL MET L:
(Toggle Switch in the Middle) In this mode, all
different types of metal will be detected such as: iron, steel,
aluminum, brass, silver, copper and gold. Applications: Relic
Hunting, Gold Prospecting, Cache Hunting and general applications
such as property marker locating. This mode provides maximum
depth detection capability.
FULL DIS CRIM I N TE:
(Toggle Switch to the Left) When using the
Full Discriminator, most trash items will be automatically rejected.
Adjust the DISCRIMINATE control higher to increase the range of

discrimination.

TONE DISCRIMIN TE:
(Toggle Switch to the Right) When using
the Tone Discriminator, a unique dual tone "beep" and automatic iron
rejection makes finding treasure fun and easy. It's also possible to
achieve a broken tone for certain pull-tabs by adjusting your
Discriminate control to the approximate center position (12:00).
With the two-tone discrimination, along with a broken tone for
pull-tabs, you will be able to identify types of buried metals
according to the audio tones emitted. Applications: Coinshooting,
Jewelry Hunting and detecting in highly trashed areas.
