Congratulations! ® Congratulations on your purchase of the new Eurotek Pro Metal Detector. Eurotek is the result of years of research and development to bring you a detector designed specifically for European Treasure Hunting conditions. Treasure Hunting enthusiasts from around the world were involved in the development of this revolutionary new detector. -
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 display a Target-ID, when a metal object passes through the searchcoil’s detection field. - Page 4 PRE-ASSEMBLY Unpack your detector to find the following contents: 4. Middle Stem 1. Control Housing 5. Lower Stem with Bolt & Knurled Knob attached 6. S-Rod with 2. Armrest Assembly with 2 Screws Screw and Lock-Nut (attached with tape) 3. Searchcoil Tool Required: #1 Phillips Screwdriver 1.

Page 5: Assembly
Caution: ASSEMBLY Forcing in MIDDLE STEM with CAM LOCK raised may form a burr on camlock. If this happens, remove burr with knife to allow insertion. Position S-Rod upright. Rotate the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the counterclockwise direction. Insert your finger inside the tube and make sure the INTERNAL CAM LOCK is flush with the inside of the tube. -
Page 6: Batteries
BATTERIES The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries. Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery. -
Page 7: Quick-Start Demo
QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION I. Supplies Needed • a Nail • a Gold Ring (try several different size gold rings) • a Large Silver Coin II. Position the Detector a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge. Or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the searchcoil off the ground. -
Page 8: Ground Minerals
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING This 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 nails. -
Page 9: Electromagnetic Interference
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING 5. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy produced by other electronic devices. -
Page 10: Operation And Controls
OPERATION and CONTROLS POWERING UP Press The detector powers on. A “ ” appears momentarily, indicating that the detector is in the Discrimination Mode of operation. All targets are detected. Motion is required. Default sensitivity is 7, on scale of 1 to 10. Default volume is 7, 70% of maximum. -
Page 11: Menu Selections
MENU SELECTIONS Operational Overview Press to activate the menu system: SENS, DISC or VOL. At first activation of the menu system, the SENS menu selection appears. Successive presses of will toggle through the menu selections. With a menu selection visible, press to change settings for that menu selection. -
Page 12: Discrimination
MENU SELECTIONS HOW DEEP WILL IT GO? The Eurotek Pro Metal Detector will detect a coin-sized object to a distance of about 24 cm (9.5”) from the searchcoil at maximum sensitivity. Large metal objects can be detected to a depth of more than a meter. Detectability is directly related to the size of the metal object -- the larger the object, the deeper it can be detected. -
Page 13: Volume
MENU SELECTIONS 3. VOL (Volume) Press to illuminate the VOL menu icon. The default volume setting is 7. Press to increase speaker volume. Maximum volume is at setting 20. Press to lower speaker volume. The minimum volume setting is 0, no sound. -
Page 14: Discrimination System
DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM Target Detection CORRECT Sweep the detector back-and-forth over the ground. Keep the searchcoil parallel to the ground as you sweep; do not lift the searchcoil at the ends of your sweeps. WRONG Searchcoil motion is required for target detection (except in Pinpoint Mode). -
Page 15: 3-Tone System
DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM Target-ID (continued) As a general reference, targets fall into the following ranges: 1 - 39 : iron 42 - 48 : foil and small gold nuggets 54 - 57 : gold nuggets, gold rings or targets containing mostly gold 87 - 89 : clad coins or coins of recent vintage 82 - 83 : copper coins 93 - 99 : larger silver coins... - Page 16 DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM 3-Tone System (continued) The discrimination system in the Eurotek Pro is unlike systems in other metal detectors. • The default DISC setting is 0. When the detector is first powered on, all targets are detected. If the user saves different DISC settings (see Memory function, p. 21), then this may change at power-up.

MODE SELECTIONS IRON IDENTIFICATION Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination The Eurotek Pro allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but classifies them by size and signal strength. Ferrous objects will have a Target- ID between 1 and 39. To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39. -

An easier way is to use a handheld pinpointer. It is a probe-like device which is poked into the ground, making close up pinpointing a snap, reducing digging time, and minimizing the size of the holes you will dig. Teknetics offers a robust and inexpensive pinpointer designed for this purpose. -
Page 21: Other Features
OTHER FEATURES Overload Warning If a metal object or highly magnetic soil are too close to the searchcoil, the detector will “overload.” “ ” will appear on the screen and the detector will make a rapid, repeating mid-tone warning sound. Overload will not harm the detector, but the detector will not function under these conditions. -
