USING HEADPHONES
Using headphones (not included) improves
battery life, and prevents the sounds from
annoying bystanders.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the
sound more clearly, particularly if searching in a
noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other
dangers are present. This device is to be used
with interconnecting cables/headphone
cables shorter than three meters.

After detecting a target, do the
following:
1
1
.
.
Walk around the target in a
circle.
2
2
.
.
While circling the target,
continue sweeping the
searchcoil across the target.
3
3
.
.
Sweep once every 30° or 40° of
the circle.
If the tone does not change
and the target ID value is
consistent as you circle the
target, you can be highly
confident of the target’s
identification.
If the tone or target ID
changes as you circle the
target, you may have multiple
targets or an irregularly shaped
object.
If the tone completely
disappears at different angles,
the target may be trash or a
low-value metal.
If you are new to the hobby, dig all targets. With practice in the
field, you will soon identify audible and visual target feedback with
certain types of metal objects.

COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with
the ground about 1/2 inch
from the surface. Never swing
the coil like a pendulum.
