selecting from six different frequency settings with-
in each of the optional modes. Simply tap the Mode
button to scroll through the Mode options.
ZERO Discrimination Mode
Detects every type of metal. All 20 discrimination pixels
are switched on; no metals targets have been notched
out (eliminated). Use this mode to find all metal items
or when the material of the desired object is unknown.
Switch to Zero Disc Mode to aid in locating a target
when its signal is inconsistent. Such signals could mean
a trash target is close to a good target.

ing from small bronze and hammered coins all the way

to large silver medallions. Pixels for iron and foil have
been eliminated from detection.
US COINS Mode
Designed to find U.S. and similar coins, and to eliminate
common trash items such as iron, foil, and pull-tabs. Be
aware that medium-sized jewelry may be missed with
this discrimination pattern. Some digging of junk tar-
gets should be expected, such as aluminum cans. Note
that icons for common U.S. coins appear on the LCD
below the notch discrimination pixels.
JEWELRY Mode
Designed to find jewelry like rings, bracelets, watches,
and necklaces, while ignoring most iron trash.
