Your Treasure Commander TC2X 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 TC2X 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: ...

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.
GPS function is selected. It will be covered in more detail later in the manual. Touchpad Operation While the Treasure Commander TC2X 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.

GPS: This touchpad scrolls down when in a menu screen or activates the GPS function (described in a later section of the manual). DIS: This touchpad scrolls to the right when in a menu screen or returns the TC2X 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 TC2X 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 TC2X comes with three predefined programs along with one that can be customized to meet your specific needs. The Treasure Commander’s programs include: ...
Identifying Targets Before You Dig The Treasure Commander TC2X provides you with two ways to identify targets before recovering them. The first is the indication on the LCD screen via the eight Metal Category segments. In addition to the visual indication, the audio response will vary based on the type of metal that has been located.
Getting Started the Right Way Spending a little time getting familiar with the response of your Treasure Commander TC2X before you head out in search of treasure will make your time in the field more enjoyable and productive. The first activity you should try is to perform bench testing using a sample of targets.
Let's Find Something So you have spent some time getting familiar with your new Treasure Commander TC2X 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.
8. Carefully recover the target and be sure to replace the soil / grass before moving on to the next target. Target Recovery Once you have established the exact location of the target, the next step is to dig a small hole to recover it.
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 TC2X 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.
Keep it Cool - Never keep your detector in an extremely hot environment such as the trunk of your vehicle in the summer for extended periods of time. Damage to the electronics and the LCD display screen can occur. ...
