If you do not have
prior experience with a
metal
detector,
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; increase to
full sensitivity after you have become familiar
with the detector.
2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use
only. Many household appliances emit electromagnetic energy,
which can interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor
demonstration, turn the sensitivity down and keep the search coil
away from appliances such as computers, televisions and
microwave ovens.
appliances and lights.
Also keep the search coil away from objects containing metal, such
as floors and walls.
3) Use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery only.
Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    4. Estimating the size and depth of objects, to facilitate digging them up. 5. Eliminating the effects of electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices. Your GOLD metal detector is designed with these things in mind. 1. Ground Minerals All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals can interfere with the signals from metal objects you want to find.

    THE BASICS continued 4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects The relative depth of an object is displayed at the left of the display as a 1 digit number, 0 to 9 inches. The size of an object can be determined using sweep techniques described later in the manual.

    OPERATION and CONTROLS POWERING UP Press • The detector always starts up with the DISCRIMINATION feature active. Motion is required to detect metal. • Sensitivity is at 70% of maximum • All target categories are illuminated, meaning that all metal objects will be detected.

  • Page 11: Menu Selections

    OPERATION and CONTROLS MENU SELECTIONS 1. DISC 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.

    HOW DEEP WILL IT GO? The Gold Metal Detector will detect a coin-sized object, like a quarter, to a distance of about 9” from the search coil. Large metal objects can be detected to a depth of several feet.
