TREASURE VIEW
(GO‑FIND 44/66 only)
Treasure View LEDs light up when a metal object has been detected.
As you get closer to the target, more LEDs illuminate.
RED indicates an iron metal object (possibly trash).
GREEN indicates a non-iron metal object (possibly treasure).
ORANGE indicates Pinpoint mode for all metal objects.
LEDs will illuminate from left to right when Pinpoint is off.
LEDs will illuminate towards the center when Pinpoint in on.
This helps identify the exact location of the object.
ICON DESCRIPTIONS
When a metal object is detected, the corresponding icon will flash on the
control panel to indicate the target type. If the icon is turned off (not visible)
then these object types will not be detected.
Iron objects, nails and
horseshoes.
Aluminium foil and lower value
coins.
FIND MODES
FIND modes allow you to search for specific groups of metal objects by
accepting or rejecting detection. No need to dig the trash; just the treasure!
Cycle through the different modes using the Find button.
