NOTE:
The
Frequency
value will be programmed in after the
Mode
switch
is moved from the
Frequency
position. After adjusting the
Frequency
and
returning to a detection mode, you must re-set the
Pulse Delay
.
In the
Batt/Freq
position the detector operates by default in
Tone
mode, but it
is not recommended to use this position during actual target searching. Instead,
use the
Mode
control to select the desired operating mode –
All Metal
,
Tone
,
Mute
, or
Volcanic Sand
.
All Metal Mode
All Metal
mode detects all metal targets whatever their nature and conductivity. This
produces the deepest detection and has the smoothest audio. Some mineralized
rocks (hot rocks) will also be detected as metal targets.
All targets produce a single high tone; however, audio anomalies allow an
experienced operator to identify some types of targets, such as:
•
Nails, hairpins and other elongated shapes produce double beeps when the
coil is swept lengthwise.
•
Some ferrous items have an inconsistent duration of sound or produce a
double beep when the coil is raised near the limit of detection.
•
Some aluminum targets (e.g. pull tabs) show a sharp drop in amplitude as
the coil is raised.
Experienced detectorists favor the
All Metal
mode to maximize their chances of
finding deeper targets.
All Metal
mode has the highest power consumption and thus the least detecting
time between charges.
Tone Mode
Tone
mode detects all metal targets whatever their nature and conductivity, but with
a high tone or low tone:
•
A low tone indicates a ferrous target or a high-conductive target such as
silver or (sometimes) copper, depending on
Reject
setting.
