Ferrous-Coin

Ferrous-Coin improves the Target ID stability of coin type targets amongst
ferrous targets in areas with low mineralization. This setting uses advanced signal
processing techniques to minimize the blending of ferrous and coin type target
signals even when they are on top of each other. Both targets will be more
accurately identified and their cursors displayed simultaneously on the Detect
screen.
If both targets happen to be in an accepted areas of the screen, such as when
using a fully open/All Metals discrimination pattern, the Target ID number displayed
will be from the coin type object.

Ground-Coin

Ground-Coin improves Target ID stability of coin type targets in areas with high
ground mineralization. Ground with high mineralization would normally spread the
Target ID over a wide area of the detect screen, with the potential to misidentify
targets. This setting uses advanced signal processing techniques to minimize the
blending of ground and coin signals. The improvement in Target ID stability allows
you the best opportunity to correctly identify the good target.

Select Target Separation Settings

1. From the Mode Settings menu, use the down arrow buttons to highlight the Target
Separation option and press Select.
The Target Separation menu will be displayed.
2. Use the arrow buttons to highlight your required Target Separation setting (only one
option at a time can be selected) and press Select.
You will be returned to the Mode Settings menu and your Target Separation
selection will be displayed.

Pinpoint

The Pinpoint menu options allow you to choose between the two Pinpoint types:

• Normal

• Sizing
Normal
After activating the Normal Pinpoint function, the first sweep over the target will
generate a wide audio response. With each successive sweep, the width of the
audio response will be automatically reduced until there is only a very narrow
response at the centre of the search coil indicating the targets location. Make a
mental note of the position, or mark a line in the soil with your shoe or digging
tool. Move to one side so that you can pass the coil over the target at right angles
(90 degrees) and pass the coil over the target again until only a narrow response is
heard. Mark the position again and X marks the spot.
