SEARCHING
Scan the searchcoil at a rate of about one to two
feet per second with the searchcoil about one to two
inches above the ground. When you are searching
in the discriminate mode, detection of a metal target
within the range you have selected with your Dis-
crimination controls will be indicated by an increase
in sound.
Searchcoil Height
Because of the sensitivity of the Master Hunter CX
Plus and its searchcoil, it is not necessary to oper-
ate with the searchcoil held to the ground. The rec-
ommended operating height is two inches from the
surface. In areas of heavy concentrations of mineral
and rocks, it may be necessary to operate with the
coil held even farther above the surface. Even with
the coil held at this height (or even higher) above the
ground, your Master Hunter and its searchcoil will
continue to penetrate deeply, even into highly miner-
alized rock or soil.
Recovery
Whenever your detector locates a target, you’ll want
to recover it with the greatest possible ease. This
is accomplished first by pinpointing. You can then
utilize another function of the CX Plus for measuring
coin depth.
Pinpoint targets by first drawing an imaginary “X” on
the ground with the searchcoil at the place where
maximum sound occurs. You’ll notice when operat-
ing in the Discriminate Mode that you cannot main-
tain the detection sound with the searchcoil held
completely still above your target. The searchcoil
must be moving slightly for you to detect the exact
location of your target.
Electronic Pinpointing
Precise pinpointing in either mode is available with
this feature of your Master Hunter CX Plus. When
you press the Pinpoint touchpad and hold it, you can
place the searchcoil directly over your target. Move
it around slightly, and maximum sound will be heard
when the target is directly beneath your searchcoil.
