TARGET IDENTIFIC ATION
In DISCRIMINATION Mode, targets are identified both audibly and visually as
follows:
1. Different pitch tones for different types of metals
2. A 2-digit Target ID
3. An illuminated icon within the target category best describing it
AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION:
Tones identify targets as follows:
LOW TONE (ID: 1-39)
Ferrous objects, such as iron and steel, like nails and tin cans.
Smallest-sized gold objects and some steel bottle caps
MEDIUM TONE (ID: 40-79)
Foil, pull-tabs (some new style), nickels, steel bottle caps.
Newer pennies (post-1982 are minted from zinc)
Larger gold pieces, small brass objects, and most bottle screw caps.
