IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES -

PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by
"X-ing" the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over
the target in a narrowing
side-to-side pattern.
2. Take visual note of the place on
the ground where the "beep"
sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this
spot on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight
forward and straight back
towards you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the
spot on the ground at which
the "beep" sounds.
6. If needed, "X" the target at
different angles to "zero in" on
the exact spot on the ground at
which the "beep" sounds.
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an "X",
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.
The coil should be swung in a half-
circle movement as illustrated here.
Repeat this motion every step you
take to guarantee that the area is
covered thoroughly.

Motion modes
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with the
ground about one inch from the
surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum.

TARGET DEPTH ESTIMATION
After verifying a desirable
target, pass the coil again, but
raise the coil 1" over the
ground, progressively higher
with each sweep. Note the coil
elevation at which the signal
disappears. With practice, you
will be able to approximate
target depth.

QUICK-START DEMO

I. SUPPLIES NEEDED
• A Nail
• A small piece of aluminum foil
• A large screwdriver or other large iron object
• A zinc penny (dated after 1982)
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 coil off the
ground)
b. Keep the searchcoil away from
walls, floors, and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and other jewelry or metal objects from hands
and wrists.
d. Turn off appliances or lights that cause electromagnetic interference.
e. Pivot searchcoil to a position
parallel to the ground.
III. POWER UP
a. Turn the detector on and turn
the sensitivity knob to the 3:00
position.
b. Press the Retune touchpad.
IV. HOLD OBJECTS OVER SEARCHCOIL
a. Notice the single tone, regardless of the object.
b. Motion is not required. The detector will emit sound whenever a metal
object is over the searchcoil.
V. ENTER DISCRIMINATION MODE
a. Press the DISC touchpad.
b. Move the Discrimination
Knob 100% counterclockwise.
VI. WAVE OBJECTS OVER SEARCHCOIL
a. Wave coins with flat surface parallel to coil. This is how you'll find them
buried in the ground.
b. Notice the different tones.
c. Watch the LCD indicator for target identification.
VII. DISCRIMINATE
a. Waive the nail and slowly turn the Discrimination Knob clockwise until
the nail is eliminated.
b. Continue eliminating objects one-by-one, by turning the Discrimination Knob
clockwise as you wave each object. Stop turning after the zinc penny is
eliminated.
c. The objects will be eliminated in approximately this order:
1) Nail 2) Screwdriver
VIII. NOTCH
a. Press the Notch touchpad.
b. Position the Discrimination Knob so that the penny is eliminated.
c. Notice that the nickel is now detected. The penny has been "notched-out."
