Outdoor Testing and use
1.
Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
2.
Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such
as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground. (If you are using valuable
metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where you
placed the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall
grass or weeds.)
3.
Rotate VOLUME about two-thirds clockwise.
4.
Press and release the PUSH button. Slowly rotate TUNE until the
pointer is at or near 0 and the TARGET indicator lights out. You
should barely hear a tone.
5.
While holding the search coil level and about 1-2 inches above
the ground, slowly move the search coil over the area where you
placed the sample, sweeping the search coil in a side-to side
motion.
Search Coil Sweeping Hints:
Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the
search coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep causes false
readings.
Sweep slowly – hurrying makes you miss targets.
If the detector detects the material, it sounds a tone and the pointer
moves to the type of metal it found.
If the detector does not detect the material, make sure you are moving
the search coil correctly.
Notes:
The detector responds with a strong signal when it detects most
valuable metal objects. If a signal does not repeat after you sweep
