you are new to the hobby, you
may want to dig all targets at first.
With practice in the field, you will
learn to better discern the nature
of buried objects by the nature of
the detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False
signals occur when the detector
beeps, but no metal target is
present. False signals can be
induced by electromagnetic
interference, oxidation, or
highly mineralized ground
soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the
signal with several additional
sweeps over the same spot,
there is probably no target
present.
When searching very trashy
ground, it is best to scan small
areas with slow, short sweeps.
You will be surprised just how
much trash metal and foil you will
find in some areas. The trashiest
areas have been frequented by
the most people, and frequently
hold the most promise for finding
the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the surface
of the ground, without making
contact with the ground. Making
contact with the ground can cause
false signals.

Assembly is easy and
requires no tools.
Just follow these steps:
●
1
Using the supplied bolt and
knurled knob, attach the search
coil to the lower stem.
●
2
Press the button on the upper
end of the lower stem and slide
the lower stem into the upper
stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that lets
you maintain a comfortable upright
posture, with your arm relaxed at your
side.
●
3
Wind the search coil cable
around the stem. Leave enough
slack in the cable to let you ad-
just the coil when you are
hunting on uneven ground.
Then tighten the knob at the
end of the search coil.
Note:
To adjust the coil,
simply loosen the knob.
●
4
Insert the coil’s plug into the
matching connector on the con-
trol housing. Be sure the holes
and pins line up correctly.
Caution:
• Do not force the plug in.
Excess force will cause damage.
• To disconnect the cable, pull out
the plug.
Do not pull on the cable.
