Your Treasure Commander TC1X is capable of meeting your needs in a wide range of treasure hunting situations. As with any other metal detector, familiarity with this instrument is probably the limiting factor in determining how successful you can be. I recommend that you read this manual and fully understand how to operate this detector before attempting to use it in the field.
Getting Started Your Treasure Commander TC1X comes complete and ready to use. The first step is to unpack the box and check to make sure you have all the items needed to quickly assemble the detector. You should find the following parts inside the box: ...

Replace the battery compartment cover and tighten the screws. Either standard AA or rechargeable AA batteries can be used on the TC1X. Alkaline AA batteries are recommended for optimal performance and service life.
The following figure shows what types of targets will register in each of the eight segments. A useful function on the TC1X is the ability to accept or reject any of the segments independently from each other allowing you to quickly and easily create a custom program designed to handle any conditions you might come across in the field.

It is important to note that the eight segments capture commonly found targets but not all targets you might come across are listed. Military artifacts including lead bullets, brass buttons and iron artillery shells or cannon balls can register in segments that might indicate they are trash.
Touchpad Operation While the Treasure Commander TC1X offers a high level of performance under a wide range of conditions, all of its functions are controlled through the use of just seven (7) touchpads.
DIS: This touchpad scrolls to the right when in a menu screen or returns the TC1X to the normal discriminating search mode after activating the SETTINGS or PINPOINT functions.

GROUND GRAB (Ground Balance): All soil contains minerals which can impact the ability for any metal detector to locate small or deeply buried targets. The TC1X has been designed to sense the actual ground mineralization present at the search location and automatically calibrate itself to reduce or eliminate the effect the mineralization would otherwise have on detection depth and sensitivity.

NOTCH DISCRIMINATION allows you to only reject the pull tab segment while still accepting the other seven segments. The TC1X comes with three predefined programs along with one that can be customized to meet your specific needs. The Treasure Commander’s programs include: ALL METALS: This mode is designed to be used when you are looking for any type ...

mode and repeat the test. Note which targets are rejected by the detector in each of the modes. The CUSTOM mode allow you to select which of the eight segments are accepted or rejected and is very useful when you find yourself bothered by a specific piece of trash and want to ignore it.
Let's Find Something So you have spent some time getting familiar with your new Treasure Commander TC1X detector and are ready to head out and see what you can discover. Let's get started! 1. Extend the rods to the desired length.
Target Recovery Once you have established the exact location of the target, the next step is to dig a small hole to recover it. In order to preserve the environment and keep from having areas closed to metal detecting, it is essential to make the hole as small as possible and always replace the soil / grass before moving on.
Keep your search coil slightly off of the ground during the sweep, especially when using in gravel or hard, rocky dirt. Care & Maintenance Your Treasure Commander TC1X has been built to last but proper care and maintenance will ensure you receive years of trouble free operation. It is recommended that you observe the following tips.
