switching the MODE switch from the S/FIX position to the M/LAB position. As regards gold
nuggets small targets - from as small as can be detected, and up to approximately 7 to 10
grams, (depending upon the individual detector) Super Fix will give a HIGH tone signal and as
the nugget size increases to a larger size Super Fix will then give a LOW tone signal.
11.
Ground balancing:-
Because most ground changes are not heard when operating in Super Fix mode it is a good
practice to occasionally switch back to M\LAB Mode and recheck your ground balance just as
you normally would prior to using Super Fix.
12.
Overload:-
Along with most other detectors, SD/GP detectors will go into an overload state when
subjected to a strong target signal, when this condition exists the detector is unable to process
useful information until such time as the overloading signal is reduced.
When used in S\FIX mode, Super Fix has been designed to alert the operator if this condition
exists by switching the audio response back to the M|LAB mode until the overload is removed,
should this occur raise the searchcoil until Super Fix returns to its normal High or Low tone
signal response.
13.
Pinpointing:-
To pinpoint a target after locating, scan the searchcoil at a constant slow speed across the
target, ensuring that the search coil’s trailing edge also clears the target. It should now be clear
where the target lies, draw or note a line on the ground at the central point, and then scan at 90
degrees along this line to determine the exact target location.
14.
Size – High/Low tone:-
Due to Super Fix’s ability to differentiate between small (High Tone) and large (low Tone)
targets many false targets can be eliminated.
A target which has an outline profile which can be traced (larger size), and yet gives a high
tone can not be gold, and is most probably either a clay ball or thin rusty sheet metal.
