Terminology - Teknik GC1035 Manual

The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology
among detectorists.
ELIMINATION - Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector

will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the
coil's detection field.
DISCRIMINATION - When the detector emits different tones for different types of

metals, and when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this as the
detector "discriminating" among different types of metals. Discrimination is an important
feature of professional metal detectors. Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash
and otherwise undesirable objects.
NOTCH - Notching is the elimination of an item, or range of items, within the

metallic spectrum. We "notch-out" an object, or objects, selectively.
AUTO NOTCH - It eliminates trash metals automatically and keep the detection for

most coins. AUTO NOTCH range is preset in the factory and not adjustable..
RELIC - A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with

the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze or precious
metals.
IRON - Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain

metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron objects are old cans, pipes,
bolts, and nails. Sometimes, the desired target is made of iron. Property markers, for
instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron; cannon balls, old
armaments, and parts of old structures and vehicles can also be composed of iron.
FERROUS - Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.

GND TRAC -

object. Long-buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, and can
therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil
PULL-TABS - Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most

bothersome trash items for treasure hunters. They come in many different shapes and
sizes. Pull-tabs can be eliminated from detection, but some other valuable objects can
have a magnetic signature similar to pull-tabs, and will also be eliminated when
discriminating out pull-tabs.
GND BAL - Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see

through," the earth's naturally occurring minerals, eliminates false signals from severe
ground conditions, and only sound a tone when a metal object is detected.
SURF ELIM - Surface Elimination can improve the accuracy of detection result in

soil with mass trash metal. It restrains the signal from trash metal in soil surface layer,
and balance the signal from large target.
