The signal strength indicator at the bottom-
left of the screen indicates how large or
close the buried metal target is.
If all bars are illuminated, the target is
large or close to the searchcoil.
If one or two bars are illuminated, the
target is far away or small, or both.
A target's location and size can be verified

number beneath DEPTH represents the
distance of the object, in inches,  from the
searchcoil. The Depth scale is calibrated
to coin-sized objects. For objects other
than a coin, the numeric value is a relative
measure of the target's depth.
When a target is detected, the G

Very weak signals will have the faintest

For this reason, the use of headphones
is always recommended for detecting the

In Discrimination Mode the 2-digit target

provides a specific target value to help
identify buried targets more accurately.
With practice in the field, you will learn to
associate target values with the probable
identification of buried objects. The target
