Searching.

We recommend searching with a low level of discrimination (1-4 on DISC 1). 
At this setting the CS4MX will not react to small pieces of iron but will give a 
positive audio tone on other metal targets. Increasing the discrimination level 
will eliminate signals from a wider range of metal objects which are likely to be 
rubbish. 

(See Notes on Sensitivity, Ground Effect and Discrimination).

When the detector gives a signal, move the search-head to the approximate 
area where the signal was heard, hold the switch in pinpoint and move the 
search-head carefully around. The strongest signal will occur directly below 
the centre of the search-head. Dig a neat hole by cutting around the signal 
position with a sharp edged trowel and remove a divot of earth which might 
now contain the metal object. Run the detector over the area again in pinpoint 
mode to see if the metal object is still in the hole or in the piece of earth which 
you have just removed. 

Dig some more and sift through the earth until you find what you are looking 
for. Fill in the hole before moving on.

The use of headphones will increase battery life and make it easier to discern 
faint signals. 

Follow the ‘Countryside Code’. Do not trespass. Do not touch anything you 
suspect might be live ammunition - inform the police. 

Do not take your detector on any scheduled historic site. If you find 
anything which looks like it could have historical significance, report it to 
your local museum. 

Acquaint yourself with any laws relating to the use of metal detectors 
particularly if you want to go detecting in countries other than the UK.
