GOLD TARGETS
Gold will induce a low tone. In the
DISC Mode, gold will be eliminated at
various
DISCRIMINATION
knob
settings, depending upon the size of
the object. Smaller gold objects will
be eliminated at lower discrimination
settings. A man’s gold wedding band,
for example, will be eliminated in
approximately
the
12:00
discrimination position. Gold flakes
and necklaces will be eliminated at
low discrimination settings. If hunting
for gold, you will need to dig all
targets, until you become familiar
with the slight differences (if any)
between gold targets, and common
trash objects. Since a gold ring is
shaped like older pull-tabs, the two
will induce similar tones. A gold ring
can induce a double-beep as the coil
passes over the two sides of a ring;
older pull-tabs can induce a "broken"
tone with the discrimination knob in
the 12:00 to 1:00 position.
SILVER TARGETS
Silver objects will induce a high tone.
Repeatable high-tone responses are
usually worth digging. Highly
oxidized metals will, unfortunately,
also induce high tones. If a high-tone
target is difficult to pinpoint, it could
be oxidized metal.
DISCRIMINATION CONTROL
In the DISC Mode, as you rotate the
DISCRIMINATION knob clockwise,
more types of metals are eliminated
from detection. Discrimination is a
cumulative
elimination
system;
objects eliminated at a low setting
remain eliminated at high settings.
The illustration above shows the
approximate positions where different
types of metals are eliminated.
Objects come in many shapes, sizes,
and levels of purity, so these positions
can vary.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Use the SENSITIVITY knob to
eliminate
Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). EMI is both
naturally occurring and man-made.
Common sources of EMI are power
lines, both suspended and buried,
and broadcasting antennas. Operating
machinery can also produce EMI.
If your detector chatters or beeps
erratically with the SENSITIVITY knob
in the 100% clockwise position,
reduce the sensitivity until the chatter
stops (usually to the 1:00 to 3:00
position)
The SENSITIVITY knob can also be
used if you suspect the presence of
deeper
targets
underneath
a
shallower target. Reduce the
sensitivity to eliminate the detection
of the deeper target, so as to properly
locate and identify the shallower
target.
