TARGET IDENTIFICATION
SENSITIVITY control is for. You’ll be surprised at how
much you might find in an area that would
otherwise be unsearchable at high sensitivity levels.
7.
Set your discrimination at an appropriate level. If
there’s very little trash in the area, set it low, say at
iron discrimination and dig every good signal. If
there is a lot of trash present and you’re mainly
interested in coins, set the discrimination level high—
you may even want to sacrifice nickels and zinc
pennies in extremely trashy areas. If you’re looking
for gold rings, relics, artifacts, or small ancient coins,
you’ll have to set your discrimination level low. The
best way to find out how low is to bury some sample
targets or just dig everything for awhile until you
get a feel for which target classifications will be
the most productive.
8.
Look for repeatable signals and don’t waste time
on disappearing or one-way signals. If you hear a
good beep but can’t repeat it when you go back
over the target area, or if it beeps in only one
sweep direction, it’s probably a piece of trash—
something below your discrimination setting.
9.
If you’re in a relatively non-trashy area, try
searching in the Autotune mode and then identify
your targets by switching to DISC = 0. You’ll find more
and deeper targets this way.
10.
If you’re having any difficulty pinpointing or
identifying a target in the ID mode, don’t waste
any more time. Push the pinpoint button for quick
pinpointing then release it for accurate ID.
11.
If your target disappears when you go into the
Pinpoint mode, you’ve probably tuned it out by
pressing the button too close to the target or over
another piece of metal. Try again, this time pushing
the PINPOINT button over another piece of ground.
12.
Don’t waste a lot of time digging holes for targets
you can’t find if your hole keeps getting deeper and
wider, cover it up and go on. You may be over a
buried pipe or some other large deep target.
