9. Remember that when you are out with your metal detector you are an
ambassador for your hobby. Do nothing that might give it a bad name.
10. Never miss an opportunity to explain your hobby to anyone who asks about
it.
If you take your hobby seriously, then we recommend that you should join the
National Council for Metal Detecting: visit its website at www.ncmd.co.uk for more
details and how to join.
SETTING UP
ADJUSTING THE SHAFT
1. Loosen the locknut
2. Lengthen or shorten the stem so that
when you stand upright with the
detector in your hand, the search coil is
level and about 12 mm to 50 mm (
½
” to
2”) above the ground with your arm
relaxed at your side.
3. Tighten the locknut
ADJUSTING THE SEARCH COIL
Loosen the knobs that attach the
search coil to the shaft, then adjust the
search coil to the desired angle. (The
search coil should be parallel with the
ground). Tighten the knobs just enough
to keep the search coil from rotating or
wobbling.
