INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Basics
of
Metal Detecting
Your Pioneer 101 Metal Detector
incorporates Motion Detection
Technology. Movement over an
object is required in order for the
machine to detect the object and
emit a tone.
While holding your Pioneer 101
Metal Detector as indicated in the
picture to the right, sweep the
search coil slowly from side to side.
While sweeping, maintain the
search coil level with the ground.
If the Detector chatters, reduce the sensitivity by turning the left knob (Sensitivity)
counterclockwise.
When searching a possible target, move the search coil repeatedly over the target.
Be certain that the signal repeats during each pass over the target. If the tone does
not repeat consistently, you are probably detecting mineral deposits or oxidation.
Only dig up targets with repeatable tones.
IMPORTANT:
1. Use only NEW ALKALINE batteries. The detector will not operate properly with the wrong batteries.
2. Do not test the detector on the floor of a home or building. Most floors contain metal which will interfere with
its operation; unless air testing or demonstrating, use outside only.
