OWNER'S MANUAL
If you do not have prior
experience with a metal detector,
we strongly recommend that you:
1) Adjust the Gain to a low
setting in the event of false
signals. Always begin use at a
reduced Gain level; increase
Gain only after you have become familiar with
the detector.
2) Do not use indoors.
outdoor use only. Many household appliances
emit electromagnetic energy, which can
interfere with the detector. If conducting an
indoor demonstration, turn the Gain down and
keep the searchcoil away from appliances such
as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.
If your detector beeps erratically, turn off
appliances and lights.
Also keep the searchcoil away from
objects containing metal, such as floors
and walls.
3) Use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery only.
Do not use Heavy Duty Batteries.

It A hobby metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When is important that you recognize electrical interference and take appropriate measures to searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following deal with it.

The old saying "Gold is where you find it," means that to find gold, you should look in areas where the yellow metal is known to be present.
