OWNER'S MANUAL
If you do not have prior experience
with a metal detector, we strongly
recommend that you:
1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low
setting in the event of false
signals. Always begin use at a
reduced sensitivity level; this
device is designed to work
"into-the-noise",
chatter at high sensitivity.
2) Do not use indoors.

  • Page 3: Terminology

    TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINATION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field.

  • Page 4: Assembly

    ASSEMBLY Assembly is easy and requires no tools. Loosen both locking collars by rotating 100% counterclockwise. Insert the Upper Stem into the S-Rod and click silver button into hole. Position the lower stem with the silver button toward the back. Using the bolt and knurled knob, attach the search coil to the lower stem.
  • Page 5 ASSEMBLY Adjusting the Arm Rest The arm rest may be moved forward or backwards by removing the single screw and nut, and then repositioning the 2-piece arm rest. Users with shorter arms may find the arm rest more comfortable in the forward position.

  • Page 6: Batteries

    BATTERIES The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary zinc carbon batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery. The battery compartment is located on the back side of the housing.

    QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION I. Supplies Needed • a Nail • a Zinc Penny (dated after 1982) • a Nickel • a Quarter II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the search coil hanging over the edge. Or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the search coil off the ground.

  • Page 8: Basic Of Metal Detecting

    THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING A hobby metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following challenges and objectives: 1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals. 2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like pull-tabs.

  • Page 9: Size And Depth Of Buried Objects

    THE BASICS continued 4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects When using the detector in the motion DISCRIMINATION mode, the relative depth of an object is displayed on the right of the display in a 5-segment format. A more accurate depth reading is available in a no-motion mode, using PINPOINT mode.

  • Page 10: How To Work The Controls

    OPERATION and CONTROLS POWERING UP Press • The detector always starts in the DISCRIMINATION mode. Motion is required. • Default sensitivity is at about 70% of maximum, (08). • All target categories except iron are illuminated, meaning that all metal objects will be detected except iron.

  • Page 11: Menu Selections

    OPERATION and CONTROLS cont. MENU SELECTIONS 1. SENSITIVITY to increase or decrease sensitivity while the SENSITIVITY line is highlighted. Maximum sensitivity setting is 12. Minimum sensitivity setting is 4. If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects being detected, reduce the sensitivity.

    OPERATION and CONTROLS cont. MENU SELECTIONS continued 2. DISC. LEVEL to increase or decrease DISCRIMINATION level. Each time you press , a target category is eliminated from detection. Elimination occurs from left to right. When a category description (for example “IRON”) disappears from the display, then targets classified in that category will not be detected.

MODE SELECTIONS There are three selections under the MODE section of the display. • Press to toggle between DISCRIMINATION and ALL METALS. • Press at any time to activate PINPOINT mode. 1. DISCRIMINATION Mode This mode is the default mode, and requires the search coil to be in motion in order to detect and identify targets.

  • Page 16: Target Identification

    TARGET IDENTIFICATION In DISCRIMINATION mode, targets are identified both audibly and visually as follows: 1. Different pitch tones for different types of metals 2. A 2-digit target I.D. 3. An illuminated icon within the target category best describing it AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION: Tones identify targets as follows: LOW TONE Ferrous objects, such as iron and steel, like nails and tin cans.
  • Page 17 TARGET IDENTIFICATION continued 2-Digit Target Identification The 2-digit value in the middle of the screen provides a specific target value to help identify buried targets more accurately. With practice in the field, you will learn to associate target values with specific objects. Coins are more likely to yield the same value with each pass of the coil due to their concentric shape.
