set at the factory to detect all metallic targets.
NOTE: Only a light touch is all that is ever nec-
essary to activate any touchpad.
3. As noted, Mode A of the Investigator G-500
offers no discrimination. It will detect all metal
targets.
Mode B discriminates against some targets
made of junk metal, which means that the
detector will sound no signal when such tar-
gets are detected. (Every target detected is
ALWAYS shown by the cursor on the Upper
Scale.) Mode settings can be changed easily,
but you may never want to do so!
It is recommended that you not attempt to use
any discrimination for the first few hours of
searching.
Scanning
Swing the searchcoil back and forth in front of
you in a straight line. Keep the searchcoil mov-
ing at a rate of about one to two feet per sec-
16
ond. Maintain your coil at a height of one to two
inches above the ground. Detection of a metal
target will be indicated by an increase in sound
and visual indications on your Graphic Target
Analyzer (GTA).
Discovery
Locate your target precisely by scanning back
and forth to locate the loudest signals. The
Upper Scale of the Graphic Display will indi-
cate a detected target as shown below. This
indication cursor remains for five seconds or
until a new target is detected (whichever
comes first). The Metal ID Guide (below
Graphic Display) helps to identify targets.
