Page 18: Ground Balance
Ground balance can be done in three ways in FORS Gold: Automatic, Manual or Ground Tracking. During automatic or manual ground balancing, when you press the ground balance button, no matter what mode you are using, the device will unnoticeably revert to the General Search mode and the audible tones will be heard accordingly. - Page 19 FORS Gold is designed in a way that you can easily auto ground balance it on all types of ground. Therefore, we recommend that you use automatic ground balance at start up.
- Page 20 (such as gold nuggets). IMPORTANT! When air testing, be sure that Ground Tracking is o . Otherwise, the device will try to ground balance over the target and lose depth. w w w. no ktade tec tors.com NOKTA DETECTORS FORS / Page 19...
- Page 21 However, in areas where the soil has been disturbed by digging or filling up, or in geologically complex areas -commonly encountered in gold fields- you may have to ground balance frequently to accommodate changing ground conditions. w w w. no ktade tec tors.com NOKTA DETECTORS FORS / Page 20...

ID Masking is also at its factory default value), you can increase the sensitivity setting gradually to the highest level where there are no popping sounds.

IDs up to 40, 35 will fall in the masked range so the signal strength may diminish and depth may decrease. w w w. no ktade tec tors.com NOKTA DETECTORS FORS / Page 23... -
Page 25: Pinpoint
Pinpointing is to determine the center or the exact location of a detected target. FORS Gold operates on the principle of motion. This means that you must move the search coil over the target or the target over the search coil, in order for the device to detect it. In the pinpoint mode, however, the device constantly gives signal when you hold the search coil still over the target. -
Page 26: Depth Indication
S W E EP S P EED and TARGE T I D ENTI FI C ATI O N FORS Gold is a very fast responding detector. When you detect a target with the FORS Gold, in order to get an accurate ID of the target, instead of narrowing the sweeps and making quick sweeps over the target like in other detectors, you should make wider and deliberate sweeps. -

For this reason, a missed target by another detector makes you lucky for reading this manual and using the FORS Gold. The other reason is a geological one and is a commonly encountered situation in gold prospecting fields. - Page 29 M E TA L S U N D ER H OT RO C KS No matter what the reason is, a well adjusted FORS Gold will increase your chance of finding metals under hot rocks. The combined e ect of a metal and a hot rock is less than the metal's e ect by itself and the received ID will be di erent than the metal's expected ID.
