to all metal targets and does not have the ability to identify or
reject targets, this will probably not be your normal search mode.
The Autotune mode does have some advantages however
which make it useful to use in at least two situations:
1. Non-Trashy Areas.
Since the Autotune mode has a
wider scan than the ID mode, you’re less likely to
miss a good target when using it. Search in the
Autotune mode until you find a target. Pinpoint the
target using the PINPOINT button and then switch
the DISC control to “0” to identify it. The DISC control
is positioned so that you can switch back and forth
between Autotune and “0” with a flick of your
thumb.
2.
Highly Mineralized Soil or Sand.
The Autotune Mode is
recommended for black or gray sand beaches or
highly mineralized soil. Under these conditions it may
be necessary to lower the sensitivity level and sweep
several inches off the ground. Gold nuggets are
generally found in highly mineralized soil so this will be
the search mode of choice for prospectors.
TARGET ID SEARCH MODE
When the DISC control is set in the 0 through 6 position, the
CZ-5 has the ability to identify many types of small targets and,
depending on the discrimination level, reject or ignore most of
them. To better understand just how your CZ-5 responds to
different targets, try the following:
1.
Scatter some sample targets such as coins, rings,
pull tabs, nails and foil on the ground at least 18
inches apart. Include some large targets as well;
jar lids, soda cans, etc.
2.
Set the DISC control at “0”, SENSITIVITY at “5”, MODE
at ‘NORMAL’, VOLUME at “10”. If you’re wearing
headphones, reduce the volume to a comfortable
level when you are over a large target.
3.
Ground balance the CZ-5 as in the “Ground
Balance” procedure (See pages 9 & 10).
