Notes:

•

SENSITIVITY

also turns the detec-

tor on and off.

• If you set the detector’s sensitivity

too high, the detector might sound

false tones.

Adjusting DISC/TONE

Discrimination is the detector’s ability

to differentiate between types of metal

and either find or ignore them.

DISC/

TONE

adjusts the detector’s discrimi-

nation.

When

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

is set to

DISC

, adjust

DISC/TONE

so the tab is

pointing straight up and slightly clock-

wise (toward

HIGH)

to set the detector

to ignore items such as bottle caps,

zinc pennies, nickels, small gold items,

and pull tabs, while still detecting items

such as silver and copper coins. Or,

when

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

is set to

TONE

, adjust

DISC/TONE

counterclock-

wise (toward

LOW

) to find all such

items.

Notes:

• Adjusting

DISC/TONE

has no effect

while

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

is set

to

ALL METAL

.

• If you set

DISC/ALL METAL/TONE

to

TONE

then set the detector’s

discrimination too high, the detec-

tor will not detect gold items and

nickels.

PINPOINTING A TARGET

Accurately pinpointing a target while

detecting makes digging it up easier.

Accurately pinpointing small metal ob-

jects takes practice. We suggest that

you practice finding and digging up

small metal objects on your own prop-

erty before you search other locations.

Follow these steps to pinpoint a target.

1. When the detector detects a bur-

ied target, continue sweeping the

searchcoil over the target in a nar-

rowing side-to-side motion.

2. Make a visual note of the exact

spot on the ground where the

detector beeps.

3. Stop the searchcoil directly over

this spot on the ground. Then

move the searchcoil straight

forward away from you and

straight back toward you a couple

of times.

4. Make a visual note of the exact

spot on the ground where the

detector beeps.

5. If necessary, “X” the target at dif-

ferent angles to zero in on the

exact spot on the ground where

the detector beeps.
