Backlight; Searching - White's TREASUREmaster Owner's Manual

Backlight

The TREASUREpro has a backlit display option for use in low-light
conditions. Backlight use will reduce battery life, but may be
necessary in some conditions.
Tap the Power button momentarily to
select Backlight.

Searching

Sweep the search coil smoothly and evenly from side to side, as
if mopping a floor, about 2 seconds per pass, overlapping each
pass 50%. Keep the search coil as near the ground as possible,
and the same distance from the ground throughout every pass.
By placing junk and good targets on top of the ground and
sweeping the search coil past them, you can see the ideal
sweep speed that enhances target detection and identifica-
tion. If the search coil is swept too slowly, detection doesn't
happen or discrimination isn't clearly recognizable. With the
correct sweep speed, both detection and discrimination accu-
racy are optimized.
Fundamental to detecting success is choosing great places
to use your Treasuremaster. These can be researched by word
of mouth, at the library, in the newspaper, in books, or on the
Internet. The longer an area has seen use, and the more activi-
ties and people who may have used it (especially when money
was involved), the more interesting targets there will be to
discover.
Remember that you must have permission from the property
owner to search private property unless it is your own.
Many publicly owned lands are open to metal detecting.
However, some have permit systems and digging tool
restrictions. Always check with your local parks department for
necessary forms, permission, and/or limitations.
