Cache Hunting
A cache is anything of value that may be hidden or buried to prevent
theft. Long ago, people would hide their life savings near their homestead
because they did not trust banks. Caches also refer to pillaged or lost
treasure.
Recommended mode of operation
Since caches are usually buried deep, the recommended mode of
operation for cache hunting is ALL METAL mode. This mode does
not require motion, helping you determine the size of the object and
pinpoint its location. While hunting in this mode might yield
considerable trash targets, it may be worthwhile if there is strong
evidence that the particular cache you're hunting for actually exists.
See the ALL METAL mode section of this manual for instructions on
its operation.
Tips for cache hunting
Sweep the search coil slowly; pay particular attention toany
increase in volume, indicating that the unit has detected metal.
Try clearing all surface trash metal to allow the Time Ranger™
to detect deeper targets without interference. You may need to
adjust the detector's sensitivity; see To adjust sensitivity in ALL
METAL mode section of this manual for instructions on
adjusting the detector's sensitivity.
If the unit emits a continuous loud signal, there may be too
much trash in the area for it to operate at its ground balance
peak. Try de-tuning the detector by pressing the ALL METAL
AUDIO LEVEL (-) touch pad so that you can distinguish
smaller metal.
If adjusting sensitivity does not work, find another area close
by that contains less metal to assure that the unit is properly
ground balancing.
