| 14 Pin Point Procedure: MDT 8000 metal detector has a Double–D search coil configuration. The search coil’s most sensitive area is along the search coil longitudinal centerline. The metal detector will give the loudest response when a target is directly beneath it.
U s e r M a n u a l M D T 8 0 0 0 | 15 Target ID and Sound Modes Numerical Target ID Display: Represents the Target conductivity and is always displayed. Non-ferrous Targets have positive numbers and ferrous Targets have negative numbers. The target ID number range is from -30 to +30 and is a function of the target’s shape, thickness and the metal conductivity.

Ground Balance the metal detector on the dry side of the beach with Salt Mode activated. (If the beach is not mineralized, like white sand beaches, ground balance is not necessary and manually set the ground balance to 500.) 2.
U s e r M a n u a l M D T 8 0 0 0 | 20 Threshold Threshold ranges from -9 up to 0. All positive target response signals are audible. When using a negative threshold, the value is subtracted from the target signal. A Threshold of zero does not affect the signal. To increase the ability to hear faint signals, it is recommended to set the TrH to -1 or 0.
