  • Page 16 OPERATION OF THE METAL DETECTOR Introduction: Selecting operating modes The Time Ranger offers three basic types of operation: 1. Discrimination with visual target identification. This type of operation requires the searchcoil to be in motion over the target for the target to be detected. The Time Ranger offers an array of discrimination modes: three preprogrammed modes accessed by the PROGRAM SELECT button, a fully programmable mode accessed by the DISC/TARGET button, and a target-activated...
  • Page 17 DISCRIMINATION & TARGET ID MODES Preset Program #1 (low discrimination) When the machine is first turned on, it goes to Program #1. This is a motion discrimination & target ID mode which rejects iron and foil, as indicated by the R's under those categories on the display screen. Preset Program #2 (medium discrimination) If you're in Program #1 and tap the PROGRAM SELECT button, it'll...
  • Page 20 All Metal Modes All Metal Pinpoint mode When the ALL METAL-SMART TRAC button is pushed, the detector switches to the All Metals Pinpoint Mode. This mode detects all metals and unlike the other modes, does not require to the searchcoil to remain in motion to detect a target.
  • Page 25 L False signals and chatter; using the Sensitivity control At times the machine may "beep" when there's nothing there, or at least it seems like there's nothing there. There are three main causes of this: electrical interference, nuisance buried metal objects, and electrically conductive ground minerals.
  • Page 28 In most areas, once you've ground balanced, the ground balance setting will remain satisfactory for a long time. However, if the soil has been disturbed by digging or bringing in fill dirt, or if it's in a geologically complex setting such as is commonly encountered in gold prospecting areas, you may have to frequently rebalance to accommodate changing soil conditions.
  • Page 29 Types of metal detecting: descriptions and tips L "Coinshooting" "Coinshooting" is searching for coins, usually in places like parks, schoolyards, church lawns, and people's residential yards. In most places where coins are likely to be found, there's a lot of aluminum trash like pulltabs and bottle caps, as well as steel bottle caps and often nails.
  • Page 31: Gold Prospecting

    To find promising sites to hunt, do some research in your local library, look for clues in old newspapers, and see what information you may be able to find on the Internet. Where did buildings used to be, which have since been torn down? Where did people gather for public events like dances and county fairs? Where did train and stage lines run? Where were the swimming holes? In almost every...
  • Page 32 Because most gold nuggets are tiny, and are usually found in soil which is high in iron oxide minerals, serious gold prospecting requires a detector with high sensitivity and true ground balanced motion all metal operation. The 4" accessory searchcoil is preferred for gold prospecting because it detects tinier stuff and handles the ground minerals better.
  • Page 33: Cache Hunting

    Cache Hunting A "cache" (pronounced "cash") is an accumulation of money, jewelry, gold, or other valuables, which someone has hidden. When people bury a cache, they usually put it in a strongbox or in a jar. To search for a cache, first you need a reason to believe the cache may exist.
