Classic® 5 ID

A. Care must be taken to use the appropriate digging
tool for the terrain, and not to leave unsightly
excavations or holes on other peoples property.
B. There are hundreds of digging tools designed to
minimize the impact removal of small items has on
the grass and vegetation, and avoid damaging the
items found.
C. Sand scoops are all that is needed in some areas, in
others a hand gardening spade. Challenging
ground conditions may require more sophisticated
tools. Check with your dealer regarding an
appropriate tool for your area.
IV. Where To Search
A. Start with your own yard. Valuables can be found
anywhere people have congregated, gathered, lived,
sat, walked, played, camped, picnicked, traveled or
fought.
A. Once a consistent good sound is located, to pin-
point the exact center, squeeze and hold the G.E.B./
DISC toggle (located on the handle) or press it forward
to lock and “X” the area slowly to pinpoint the exact
center. The detector will beep as the physical center of
the loop passes the center of the target. Listen for the
loudest beep as you sweep the loop over the area, then
stop and sweep in the other direction listening for the
loudest beep. Where the two loudest beeps intersect is
the center of the target. Return the G.E.B./DISC toggle
to the center G.E.B./DISC position before continuing to
search. B. Any area inhabited before 1965, is likely to have
the older styles of collectable coins.
V. How To Search
A. You must have permission to search private property
from the owner or person in charge of managing the
property. In most cases, you can locate the owner
through City Hall or the County Seat.
B. If the area is city owned contact the Parks and
Recreations Department. If it is a state or federal park
contact the superintendent or grounds keeper. In most
cases permission to search is not a problem, given a few
restrictions, such as known and marked historical parks.

III. Digging
Optional headphones are available for this model.
The Classic® models come equipped with a 1/4 inch
stereo headphone jack. It is located below the elbow
cup, above the battery compartment. Most 1/4 inch
headphones from 8-120 ohms will work with this
model. White’s has several high quality sets to choose
from with volume controls for winter or summer use.
As the Classic® models do not have volume controls,
if you have sensitive hearing be sure to select head-
phones with volume controls.
Headphones are recommended for the following
reasons -
A. Increase battery life.
B. Increase the opera-
tors ability to hear the
metal target.
C. Provide the operator
privacy.
D. Keep the detector
noises from annoying
less enthusiastic by-
standers.
E. Full-size headphones block external
noise, such as traffic or surf.
