With your GC-1032 metal detector, you can hunt for coins, relics, jewelry, gold, and silver just about anywhere. The detector comes with high sensitivity and strong ability of discrimination. It is versatile and easy to use. The detector’s features include: LCD Display: shows the probable type of metal, the depth of the target, range of DISC&NOTCH, the level of SENS , and battery condition .

coil’s plug into the search coil jack on the detector’s control housing. Caution: Do not over-tighten the search coil or use tools such as pliers to tighten it. The search coil’s plug fits into the connector only in one way. Do ...
If you don’t plan to use the unit for a week or more time, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. Change the batteries if the battery indicator on the LCD lights. USING HEADPHONES 1.
1. VOLUME/POWER switch Rotate the VOLUNE switch clockwise away from OFF to power on the detector. Rotate it fully counter-clockwise to power off the detector. To increase the volume level, rotate the switch clockwise. 2. PHONE jack: You can insert the headphones’ plug of 3.5mm into the PHONE jack and operate without trouble.
OPERATION 1. TURNING ON THE DETECTOR Rotate the VOLUME switch clockwise away from OFF to power on the detector. LCD will display all symbols .Meanwhile the detector sounds low , medium, high tones respectively. After about 2 seconds the detector enters into stand-by state. At this time the default mode is DISC.

Press NOTCH, then + or – to select the target to be notched. The cursor above the selected target will flash. Press NOTCH again, the target name below the cursor will disappear. It means this target will be notched during the detection and the detector will have no reaction to the notched target.
find (such as a gold ring or a coin) 2-3 inches or more above the face of the search coil. When the detector detects any metal, it sounds a tone and the cursor above the target name will light. Also LCD displays the numeric value of target as well as the depth(signal strength) of it.
1¢: It indicates that the target might be a zinc penny. Some large rough gold items might register within this category. 25¢: It indicates that the target is probably 25¢ or a silver coin. 3. Tones The detector comes with three tones for different types of metal. But the built in audio identification system sounds a unique tone for each of three categories of metal.

placed the sample, 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.

False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or large irregular piece of junk metal. False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable. Adjusting SENSITIVITY After you become familiar with how your detector works, it’s important to fine tune the sensitivity to get a good effect. Press the touch button SENS on the panel.
Factors That Affect The Detecting It’s difficult to have an accurate detecting result. Sometimes the detecting may be restricted by some factors: The angle of the target buried in the soil. The depth of the target. The level of oxidization of the target. ...

Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage the cases of the detector. Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts. Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
