TARGET AND DEPTH DISPLAY
READING THE DISPLAY
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) s h o w s
the PROBABLE identification of the
t a rgeted metal, as well as the P R O B A B L E
depth of the target, in inches.
The detector will register a re p e a t e d ,
unchanging target identification when a
buried target has been located and
identified. If, upon repeated passes over
the same spot, the target identification
reads inconsistently, the target is pro b a b l y
a trash item, or oxidized metal. Wi t h
practice, you will learn to unearth only the
repeatable signals.
The segment identifications are highly
accurate, when detecting the objects
described on the label. However, if you
register in a given category for an unknown
buried object, you could be detecting a
metallic object other than the object
described on the label, but with the same
metallic signature. Also, the greater the
distance between the target and the coil,
the less accurate the target identification.
GOLD TARGETS Gold objects will re g i s t e r
on the left side of the LCD scale.
Gold flakes will register under Iro n / F o i l
Small gold items will register under PT.
Medium-sized gold items will re g i s t e r
under S-cap.
L a rge gold items will register under Zinc.
S I LVER TARGETS: Silver objects will
register to the right of the scale, under 25¢,
50¢, or $1, depending on the size of the
object. The larger the object, the farther to
the right it will re g i s t e r.
IRON/FOIL: All sizes of iron and aluminum
objects will register on the far-left side of
the scale. This could indicate a wort h l e s s
item such as a nail, or a more valuable
historic iron re l i c .
PT (pull tab): All older pull tabs fro m
beverage cans will register here. Some
newer pull tabs will register here. Many
gold rings will also register here .
S-CAP: Older screw caps from glass
bottles will register here. Large gold rings,
like a class ring, could also register here .
Some non-U.S. coins of recent vintage will
also register here .
ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982) will
register here. Many non-U.S. coins of
recent vintage will also register here .
10¢: Dimes and pre-1982 pennies will
register here. Older, pre-1982, pennies are
composed of copper, which has a metallic
s i g n a t u re similar to a dime.
CAUTION: The target indications are visual
re f e rences. Many other types of metal can
fall under any one of these categories.
While the Titan 2000 XD will eliminate or
indicate the presence of most common
trash items, it is impossible to accurately
classify ALL buried objects.
DEPTH INDICAT O R :
The Depth Indicator is accurate for coin-
sized objects. It indicates the depth of the
t a rget, in inches. Large and irre g u l a r l y -
shaped objects will yield less reliable depth
re a d i n g s
When passing over an object, the depth
indicator will light up and stay illuminated
until another object is scanned. Repeated
indication at the same depth level indicates
an accurate target detector. If the depth
indication varies with each sweep, try
sweeping at diff e rent angles; there may be
m o re than one target present. Wi t h
practice, you will learn the diff e re n c e
between accurate readings, multiple
t a rgets, and highly erratic readings which
evidence trash or irregularly shaped
o b j e c t s .
