VII. Once a smooth consistent beep has been located,
sweep the loop directly over the center of the target
several times and read the possible ID on the display.
Like the audio discriminator, the display will tend to
fluctuate on trash, and read more consistent on
valuable metals. This is why we recommend relying
on the audio beep as the primary indication, and then
check the display ID.
A. The display will produce and hold indications as
the loop passes over ground, trash,
and other metals. Items discriminated
by the DISC control position will still
produce display indications (see first
graphic on page 6).
B. The more consistent the display
indication and the fewer the blocks,
the more likely the indication is
correct. Trash metals tend to indicate
inconsistently.
C. Caution: two different types of
metals lying near each other in the
ground may produce multiple display
indications that may appear to mimic
trash. In which case the following
pinpointing method first should be
used. Return to the I.D. display once
the targets have been individually
pinpointed and you can pass the loop
directly over the center of each target
separately.
D. See Explanation Of Display for more regarding
display indications.
VIII. Pinpoint exactly where to dig by squeezing and
holding the ALL METAL toggle in the temporary
position and “X-ing” the loop slowly over the area
“eyeballing” the center. The detector will “beep” as
the physical center as the loop passes the center of the
target.
A. Note that some loop movement is required. It is a
good idea to place coins on the ground and practice
pinpointing. It takes some time to develop pinpointing
skills. Release the ALL METAL toggle and it will
automatically return to the DISC position before
continuing to search.
IX. If the desire is to detect iron/steel such as tools,
relics or property stakes, place the ALL METAL toggle
in the forward LOCK position and leave it there during
searching. With the ALL METAL toggle in the forward
LOCK position, all types of common metals respond.
A. The display will continue to indicate I.D.
regardless of the toggle position.
Locked forward -
all metals for detecting iron/steel,
and all other metals
Center position -
discrimination for normal
searching with trash rejection
Temporarily squeezed -
all metals for pinpointing
