LCD TARGET DISPLAY
-Motion modes only
READING THE DISPLAY
The LCD Target Display is accurate
in the Motion Modes only.
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows
the PROBABLE identification of the
targeted metal.
Pass the search coil repeatedly over a
target, and observe the target readout.
The detector will register a repeatable,
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
probably a trash item, or oxidized
metal. With practice, you will learn to
unearth only the repeatable signals.
The segment identifications are highly
accurate, when detecting the objects
described on the label. For example, if
you pass the coil repeatedly over a
nickel, your detector will repeatedly
register a nickel. However, if you
repeatedly register a nickel, for an
unknown buried object, you could be
detecting some other metallic object
with the same magnetic signature as a
nickel.
GOLD TARGETS
Gold objects will
register on the left side of the LCD
scale.
Gold flakes
will register under
Iron/Foil
Small gold items
will register under
Pull Tab.
Medium-sized gold items
will register
under S-caps.
Large gold items
will register as Zinc
1¢.
SILVER 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 register.
IRON/FOIL:
All sizes of
iron and aluminum objects
will register on the far-left
side of the scale. This could
indicate a worthless item
such as a nail, or a
more valuable
historic iron relic.
5¢:
Nickels will
register here. Some
newer pull-tabs will
also register here.
PULL TAB:
All older pull
tabs from beverage cans
will register here.
Some newer pull tabs
will register here.
Many gold rings will
also register here.
S-CAPS:
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.
