The Basics
of Metal Detecting
Your Fast Tracker Metal Detector is a MOTION metal detector; movement over
an object is required in order for the machine to detect an object and emit a tone.
The Fast Tracker has eliminated the two most difficult aspects of detecting -
ground balancing and target tuning. Both of these functions are automatic. With
only two operating knobs, you are on the Fast Track to finding buried treasure!
CAUTION:
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY:
• If demonstrating indoors, beware of interference from electromagnetic
fields.
• If interference occurs, the detector will chatter or beep erratically.
• To avoid interference, turn the sensitivity down, turn off lights and
appliances, or use outdoors.
DO NOT TEST ON THE FLOOR
Most floors contain metal, which will interfere with the target's signal.
OWNER'S MANUAL
USE 9 volt ALKALINE batteries ONLY.

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES SWEEP TECHNIQUE Sweep the search coil in a slow, consistent, side-to-side motion. The detector’s circuitry is constantly calculating the ground’s mineralization. A steady, consistent coil speed is required for the detector to make an accurate calculation. Keep the search coil about one inch above the ground. -
Page 9: Troubleshooting
IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES PINPOINTING Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the sus- pected target area. Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side pattern. Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep”... -
