Note:
When you set the detector to DISC or NOTCH mode, the detector sounds a
medium or high tone when it detects highly oxidised iron.
Depending on the purity, ~15% gold rings cause the detector to sound a
medium tone.
Outdoor testing and use
1.
Rotate the volume switch clockwise away from the off position to power on the
detector.
2.
Follow step 2 as described in the Indoor Testing and Use section above to set the
operating mode.
3.
Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4.
Place a sample of the material to be detected (such as a gold ring or a coin) on the
ground.
Note:
If using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where the item
is placed to assist in finding it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds).
5.
Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1-2 inches above the surface, and
slowly move the search coil over the area where the sample was placed, sweeping
the search coil in a side-to-side motion.
Search coil sweeping hints
Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.
Sweep slowly; hurrying will cause targets to be missed
It is recommended to sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 3
inches motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
