Fisher 1225-X - Manual (Page 13)

11
Once you have pinpointed a target, your objective is
to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving no trace of your
excavation. There are almost as many ways to do this as there
are Treasure Hunters. Whatever works for you is good enough as
long as you don’t break any laws, damage vegetation, or leave
your search area looking like a World War II battlefield.
Generally speaking, beachcombers do little if any damage to
the environment while recovering targets. However, if you plan
to use your 1225-X on lawns or in parks, your target recovery
method can be very important. Two of the most successful
methods are illustrated in a separate booklet enclosed with your
1225-X.
- Search Mode -
1. Minimum Depth
a. Very slow or fast sweep speed.
b. Discrimination set at “10.”
2. Good Depth
a. Moderate sweep speed.
b. Discrimination set at “5.”
3. Maximum Depth
a. Moderate sweep speed.
b. Discrimination set at “0.”
4. Missed Target
Many targets within the range of
your 1225-X will not be
detected unless you closely overlap
your swings.
Note:
Depth is also determined by the size, shape and material of
the target as well as the degree of ground mineralization and
sensitivity setting.
