An operator who is familiar with his instrument will be able to do an excellent job of
determining object size, shape and depth before he digs. This technique is learned from careful
analysis of the meter and audio signal coming from the detector. Each time a signal is heard,
listen for any peculiar characteristics it may have, determine over how large an area you get a
detector signal, and try to 'outline' the object before you dig. After digging up the object,
compare the object size, shape, depth and position in the ground with signal information you
received before digging. After careful analysis of many signals you will learn to 'read' the hidden
target before digging.
ACCESSORIES (OPTIONAL) AVAILABLE FROM C-SCOPE
Headphones:
Headphones not only extend battery life but improve sensitivity by cutting
extraneous noise. The headphones should be fitted with a standard stereo 1/4 inch (6.35mm) jack
plug. The headphone socket is located under the protective cap in the battery housing.
Rechargeable battery pack:
A shrink wrapped pack of 8 high capacity rechargeable nicad
batteries to replace the standard batteries and holder.

The C-Scope battery charger is designed to charge the rechargeable pack
quickly and safely.
CHARGING BATTERIES
A battery charge socket is provided for use with the C-Scope battery charger (see Accessories)
and is located under the protective cap in the battery housing. (The smaller of the two sockets.)
Inserting the charger will automatically remove the power from the detector so the charger must
be removed to do a battery check.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE RIGHT APPROACH
Treasure hunting can be a profitable and rewarding hobby, if approached in a patient and diligent
manner. Time spent researching to locate a worthwhile site for a search can be time wasted if
your search is hasty and erratic. To achieve maximum results it is important then, to decide on
your approach to any particular site in advance of the actual search. Tactics will be decided by
the type of site - it is more profitable to scan a small area thoroughly than to conduct a
haphazard search of the total site. However, when the site is too far away for you to make several
return visits, a plan should be adopted which gives maximum coverage, at the same time as
indicating the most likely area for detailed search.
Your detector alone is not a guarantee of successful treasure hunting. Any detector needs an
operator and for the best results the operator needs the right approach, attitude and technique.
Too many beginners neglect the importance of pre-planning and research before using their
detector in the field, and patience and technique during the actual search. A successful search
