METAL DETECTOR
OWNER’S MANUAL
If you do not have prior experience
with a metal detector, we strongly
recommend that you:
1) Adjust the Sensitivity
to a low setting in the
event of false signals.
Always begin use at a
reduced sensitivity level; this device is
designed to work “into-the-noise”, so
expect chatter at high sensitivity.
2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for
outdoor use only. Many household
appliances emit electromagnetic energy,
which can interfere with the detector. If

TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINATION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field. DISCRIMINATION When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this as the detector "discriminating" among di

BATTERIES The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included). Do not use ordinary zinc carbon batteries. Rechargeable batteries can also be used. If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery. The battery compartment is located on the back side of the housing. Slide the battery door to the side and remove it to expose the battery compartment. BATTERY LIFE Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a 9-volt alkaline ba

THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING A hobby 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 pull-tabs. 3. Identifying a buried metal object before you dig it up. 4. Estimating the size and depth of objects, to facilitate digging them up. 5. Eliminating the

Size and Depth of Buried Objects When using the detector in the motion DISCRIMINATION mode, the relative depth of an object is displayed on the right of the display in a 5-segment format. A more accurate depth reading is available in a no-motion mode, using PINPOINT mode. Pinpoint displays target depth in inches. Pinpoint does not require the coil to be in motion to detect metals. The ability to hold the searchcoil motionless over the target also aids in tracing an outli

Minimum sensitivity setting is 4. If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects being detected, reduce the sensitivity. The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field that the detector

With practice in the field, you will learn to associate target values with specific objects. Coins are more likely to yield the same value with each pass of the coil due to their concentric shape. The presence of multiple targets will yield multiple tones. Trash objects are more likely to yield a differe
