2. DISPLAYS
Targets are indicated by target icons and LCD displays located at the top of
the detector. It can indicate coins of different type, gold, silver etc. When the
detector detects an object, an arrow appears below the target icon of
probable type of metal being detected. Also displays the depth of the target.
If the detector receives a strong signal, the arrow appears steadily. If the
signal is weak, the arrow blinks or does not appear.
Note:
If the detecting pauses for about 5 seconds, the arrow will disappear.
If an arrow points to a coin denomination, the detector might be
detecting either a coin or another type of metal (such as jewelry, tokens,
medals, or even junk metal) about same size and type as the coin.
Since the indications are approximations, the detector might not have
actually found the item it indicates. The indicator is only a visual
reference to help you decide if an item is worth investigating.
