ID
The CSI Pro ’s Digital Target ID system provides a specific
target value to help identify targets more precisely. Targets
are identified on the LCD by number, with items near 1 being
the most ferrous. The most conductive targets (such as large
copper items) register closer to to 99.
The Digital Target ID is a more precise version of the
Target ID Cursor shown in the Upper Scale. Each Target ID
Cursor has a width of 5 digital points. For example, a Digital
Target ID of 47 will light the cursor from 45 to 50.
This system, when used in conjunction with the audio
target signals, provides you with more information. The
sample chart on the following page provides Digital Target ID
ranges of some commonly found items.
It is important to note that detection depth can exceed
Target ID depth (i.e. faint targets at depth can be heard
without providing any Target ID).
The Digital Target ID for conductive metals such as lead,
brass or copper can vary widely based upon its size and
thickness. This is because small, thin pieces of metal cannot
conduct electrical current as well as thicker pieces of metal.
Therefore, tiny lead bullets—for example—will register lower
on the Target ID scale than would a larger, thicker piece of
lead, even if the two pieces have identical purity. In addition,
in mineralized soils, the Target ID of small metal objects can
