4.2 Search recommendations and hints for Reset operation

During the search process be sure that you do not carry items of metal with you. This
could cause a wrong adjustment when pressing the Reset key and can produce false
indicator effects. Furthermore this can lead to a wrong metal discrimination. While
searching be ensured, that the sound remains constant, otherwise an inappropriate
adjustment caused by magnetic fields may occur. Should this be the case press
Reset-button again and adjust frequency once more. Hold searchcoil over the ground
and control display.
The Reset-button should be pressed after each of the following modifications:
1. After every switch-on of the metal detector.
2. After every exchange of searchcoils.
3. During the search, if sound becomes instable due to bad soil conditions or
geomagnetism.
During search and in particular before excavation of the object the following factors
should be taken into account in order to make the search more targeted and thus more
successful.
1. Change of sound (frequency)
2. Intensity of sound
3. Continuity of sound
4. Extent of value (digital display)
The change of sound is the first sign for the finding of a metal object. At the same time
there should other circumstances be considered and the own search experience be
used as support:
The more intense the sound, the larger the metal object and the nearer it is located to
the surface. While a high search tone is audible, it is required to move the searchcoil in
the close surrounding to determine the shape of the metal object.
ID (metal discrimination):
Unlike to other metal detectors GOLD ID-XL performs a constant metal discrimination.
Conductivity value and metal type (e.g. "Gold") are displayed.
