Relic MODE;
The Relic MODE also provides 5 different signifi -
cant indications on the display. cant indications on the display. cant indications on the display.
1. VDI = number - As with the Coin and Jewelry
mode the relic VDI (Visual Discrimination Indica-
tion) is a reference number dictated mostly by the
metal targets exact alloy, size, and shape. And just
like coins and jewelry, relics can present with simi-
lar VDI numbers for different objects because their
makeup and electrical charasteristics are similar.
Using the reference label below the display one can
see that iron relics are still in the low VDI numbers
and objects like brass buttons and buckles with a
high concentration of non-ferrous metal or alloy
rate higher VDI numbers compared to their size and
purity.
2. Blocks - The MXT 300 Relic mode uses the
same sixteen fi lled in Blocks as Coin and Jewelry
mode to further confi rm, on the reference label, the
connection between the VDI number and software's
best determination of the target identity. The verti-
cal size (one quarter, one half, or the whole block)
tells one how sure the MXT 300 is of the target ID.
Full bar and half bar usually means dig. Quarter
blcoks are uncertain.
3. Labels - In Relic mode you will see target ID
labels in the upper right of the display. The labels
are Hot Rock, IRON, BUTTON, BULLET and
BUCKLE. Obviously there are many more relic
items possible. Just keep your imagination open for
what possible objects were produced in metal and
how they might compare in size and alloy to the
ones mentioned above.
