Page 9: The Basics Of Metal Detecting
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING This metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following challenges and objectives: 1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals. 2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like nails. -

Page 16: Target-Id
TARGET IDENTIFICATION Target-ID When metal objects are detected, the detector will emit a sound, a Target-ID Category icon will illuminate and a 2-digit Target-ID number will appear on the screen. Possible Target-ID numbers range from 1 to 99. This number represents the electrical conductivity of the target;... - Page 17 Continued) TARGET IDENTIFICATION Jewelry, Coin and Artifact modes have predefined audio tones for the various Target Category groupings. The Custom mode is programmable and users can assign any tone to any of the Target Category groups. The Custom modes default tone for all categories is a single proportional tone (V.C.O.). V.C.O. varies in pitch and volume depending on the depth and size of the target.
