Beach / Inland Switch
This switch is used for detecting on the beach.
Pressing the button once will switch the detector
into beach mode. Pressing it again will switch
back into inland mode. The display will show 'B'
when beach mode is selected. When using this
mode the detector will not detect iron objects,
but will still provide an audio signal and target ID
for non-ferrous metals.
Note that the detector will always reset to inland
mode when the power is switched off

Target ID
This part of the display provides an indication of
the identity of each target. When the search
head is swept past a target a number, between 0
and 95, is shown on the display and the bar fills
up to a point. If only one or two blocks appear
and the number that appears is low then the
object is likely to be iron. If seven or eight blocks
are shown and the number is high then the
object is likely to be of high conductivity.
Some Typical Targets:
Small Iron (Nail)
Modern 5p
Victorian (Silver) Shilling

All Metal Mode (VK30 only)
Turning the discrimination control fully anticlock-
wise switches the detector into All Metal mode.
This mode allows more accurate pinpointing of
the target as the search head does not need to
be kept moving to detect.
6.
Pinpoint / Retune Button (VK30 only)
When in Motion mode, pressing and holding this
button switches the detector into All Metal mode.
When detecting in All Metal mode, holding this
button switches the detector to Motion mode and
also retunes the threshold tone. When the
detector is in Non-Motion mode, whether chosen
by the discrimination control or the pushbutton,
the display shows a 'P'. The display gives the
target ID of the object as in motion mode. Please
note that although there is increased sensitivity
when using non-motion mode, the display is not
capable of correct ID for small signals that would
not be detected in Motion mode.

Battery Check
The detector continually monitors the condition
of the battery. As the battery power begins to
fade, the blocks used to indicate target ID or
control position reduce in size. When the blocks
show up as a thin line the battery should be
replaced.
