2. DISPLAYS 

The  target  indicator  includes  target  icons  and  LCD  displays  and  is  located  at  the  top  of  the  detector.  It  can  indicate 

coins of different type, gold, silver etc. When the detector detects an object, an arrow appears below the target icon of 

probable type of metal being detected. Also displays the depth of the target. If the detector receives a strong signal, the 

arrow appears steadily. If the signal is weak, the arrow blinks or does not appear.   

Note:   

 

If the detecting pauses for about 5 seconds, the arrow will disappear. 

 

If an arrow points to a coin denomination, the detector might be detecting either a coin or another type of metal 

(such as jewellery, tokens, medals, or even scrap metal) about same size and type as a coin. 

 

Since  the  indications  are  approximations,  the  detector  may  not  have  actually  found  the  item  it  indicates.  The 

indicator is only a visual reference to help you decide if an item is worth investigating.

IRON  FOIL

—indicates  that  the  target  is  probably  iron  or  foil.  Some  rusty  iron  might  register  somewhere  within  the 

SILVER range. 

5¢(NICKEL)—

indicates that the target has a high nickel content. 

PULL  TAB

—indicates  that  the  target  is  probably  a  pull  tab  from  aluminium  can.  Some  rough  gold  items  might  register 

within PULL TAB category. 

S-CAPS

—indicate  that  the  target  is  probably  a  type  of  metal  like  bottle  cap  with  whorl.  Some  small  gold  items  might 

register within this category. 

indicates that the target might be a zinc or copper coin. Some large gold items might register within 1¢ category.
