The Au GOLD FINDER operates on the motion principle: If the search coil is not moving, the Au GOLD FINDER will not detect targets even if the coil is directly over a metal target. Sweep the search coil alternately right and left maintaining level coil at approximately 5cm (2") distance above the ground. -
Page 11: Search Modes
In DISC.1 FAST and DISC.2 DEEP modes, the Au GOLD FINDER will produce a low tone for iron and positive hot rocks. For all other metals, detector will produce a single tone which increases in volume and pitch as the coil approaches the target. -
Page 12: Settings
DISC FILTER ranges between 0-40. The factory default value (optimal starting point) is ten '10' which is clearly marked on Control Panel. To use DISC.FILTER, first GROUND BALANCE the Au GOLD FINDER. Select one of the Discrimination modes (DISC.1 FAST, DISC.2 DEEP). Next, set the DISC FILTER to '0' , then sweep the coil over the undesirable target while simultaneously and slowly turning the DISC FILTER knob clockwise until no response is heard. - Page 13 15-16. THRESHOLD Dial THRESHOLD dial is used to adjust the background hum sound commonly referred to as the threshold sound. THRESHOLD tone is continuously heard when Au GOLD FINDER is operating in the ALL METAL mode. iSAT / iMASK Dial iSAT / iMASK dial is a multifunction switch controlling iSAT settings when ALL METAL mode is selected, and alternately controlling iMASK settings when DISC.1 FAST or DISC.2...
- Page 14 S etti ngs NOTE: Using the Au GOLD FINDER in 1 TONE will enable you to hear smaller gold nugget signals more clearly. -2 TONE LED OFF provides User with two tone target response. Low tone for iron (ferrous) or hot rocks and a higher tone similar to ALL METAL target response which indicates gold and non-ferrous metal targets.

Page 15: Ground Balance
G ROU N D BA L AN CE GROUND BALANCE can be performed three ways in Au GOLD FINDER: 1) Auto, 2) Manual and 3) Tracking. GROUND BALANCE is a multi-function dial (rotary and push) used to perform either Automatic or Manual GROUND BALANCE. Push and hold for setting Auto GROUND BALANCE. - Page 16 Users in certain fields where small gold nuggets are searched for. TRACKING -TRACKING automatically updates Au GOLD FINDER GROUND BALANCE as the search coil is swept over the ground. -TRACKING does not provide audio feedback (tone) to the User when selected.
- Page 17 - Sweep search coil over ground listening carefully for changes in tone as you sweep; - If you hear a sound as you sweep coil over the ground, switch Au GOLD FINDER to either DISC.1 FAST or DISC.2 DEEP; - Adjust DISC.FILTER gradually while sweeping coil to eliminate any sound;...

RECOMMENDATION: Au GOLD FINDER is extremely sensitive to conductive metals such as copper, micro-jewelry and coins. When using the Au GOLD FINDER to detect for mineralized copper, micro-jewelry, coins and other highly conductive metals, it is recommended that you set iMASK to ‘1’...

Page 20: Sweep Speed And Target Identification
IMPORTANT: Large targets and targets near ground surface can result in audible overload. This overload tone resembles a continuous siren sound. When you hear this tone, simply raise the coil and continue sweeping the area. This will allow the Au GOLD FINDER to recover from overload, process target and provide proper response. -
Page 21: Detecting Highly Mineralized Ground
When the Au GOLD FINDER emits a metal response tone, it indicates the detection of a positive hot rock or a piece of metal. As you gain experience with the Au GOLD FINDER, it is recommended the User dig all targets when a metal response tone is received. -
Page 22: Tracking And E Ects Of Rocks
TRACKING continually adjusts GROUND BALANCE as you detect. If you are detecting an area with many hot rocks, the Au GOLD FINDER may not respond as TRACKING repeatedly senses the hot rocks and continually fine tunes (eliminates) the undesirable targets. If you... -
Page 23: Overload
When you hear this tone, simply raise the coil and continue sweeping the area. This will allow the Au GOLD FINDER to recover from overload, process target and provide proper response. If the response continues along a straight line in the ground, it may indicate you are over a long metal object such as an iron pipe. - Page 24 www.noktadetector.com...
