Both the
1/DB
end—2J-BB
SERIES
2
Mineral/Metal Detectors
are
precise, high-
performance,
TR
instruments.
Each
instrument
is
capable of detecting all metals
in
highly minera|ized ground
and
distinguishing
between
"good"
and
''junk"
targets.
Depending upon the amount of
mineralization
in
the sell, you will
be
able to
use
your
detector
efficiently
by
adjusting the
Expanded Range
Discriminate Control to
meet
the
conditions of the
area
in
which you
are
hunting. Following
are some
hunting
techniques which you
may
want to
use
in
a
variety of Treasure Hunting situations.
COINSHOOTING:
Coinshooting
is
fast
becoming
a
very
popular pastime.
The New
1/DB and-ai-B-DSERIES
2
detectors with
Expanded Range
Discrimination
are
better
adapted than
ever
before to coinshootlng. If soil mlnerallzatlon
is
a
problem, you
can
adjust the
DISC.
Control,
in
the "GRD-REJ."
area,
to cancel out the ground.
You
will
then
be
able
to locate those older
-
deeply buried colns. With practice you
will
become
familiar with
the distinctive tone sounds of
a
wide variety of
"good"
and
"junk"
targets.
if
soil mineralization is not
a
problem
in
the
area
-
but
"junk"
is
-
then
you
can
adjust the
DISC
Control to reject much of the
"junk"
thus
saving you time.

Once you have
located
a
target
and
decided
that it
is
worth digging, pinpoint the
ob-
ject to
make recovery easier. You
pinpoint
by
crossing the loop
over
the target
in an
"X"
pattern, finding the strongest signal
on
each axis of the pattern. The
object
is
directly below the center of the
loop when the
cross
in
the
"X"
has been determined.
See
illustration
P.
The tone
will
be
loudest at the center of the
"X"
,

.
Carefully
recover
the object.

RELIC HUNTING: There
are
many
areas
where relics and other
historically
valuable
objects
have been
lost
due to
battles, such
as
in
the Civil
War. Old homesteads,
ghost towns
and
dumpsites will also yield
up
displaced treasures
-
almost
any
metallic object
may be
of interest.
You
can
search these
areas
with the Discriminate
Control set
in
the "ground
reject"
area so
that
all metals will
be
detected.
However,
if.
too much ground
clutter
is present, you may
wish to set the Discriminate Control to
the level at which pull tabs
are
discriminated against. Pinpoint
and
recover as
already mentioned.
