Work slowly when detecting. Sweeping the coil too fast over the ground will 
result in signals being missed. It must always be remembered that no 
detector can find what is not there – nor can any detector give a signal 
unless the coil is passed directly over that target. Using the Nexus 
Standard SE will guarantee good finds if the proper adjustments are 
mastered and the searched site contain desired targets.

All detectors and sites are different and a particular combination of 
frequency and filtering might be best on a specific site. 

Site conditions will significantly affect depths and performance. Heavily 
furrowed or broken ground or thick stubble is especially difficult. Sites 
where the ground conditions vary to a considerable degree may require the 
Ground Balance to be adjusted for best results.

BEACH MODE ADJUSTMENT

On the Beach the Nexus Standard SE is equally powerful, accurate and 
sensitive as it is in land.

The general setting for Beach Mode work in the following order;
Turn on the detector from the Power Switch.
Set the Sensitivity control on minimum.
Turn the Discrimination Mode switch in All Metal Mode.
Lift the search coil of the detector high above the salt water and tune the 
Threshold at minimum tone level. Only very small audio signal is to be left.

Set the Discrimination knob at 12 a clock.
Set the Ground Balance knob at 4 a clock.

Start swinging the search coil close above the very wet sand or salt water 
and try to find a place free from metal targets.
When you are satisfied that there are no metal targets in the area, begin 
vertical movements above the very wet sand up and down from the level of 
the sand to around 10" above the sand. During this procedure use the 
Ground Balance knob to cancel out the signals from the salt water in the 
same way as in a standard In land ground balancing procedure. In this 
case the procedure will be called 

SALT WATER BALANCE. REMEMBER! 

The Salt Water Balance is done only in All Metal Mode.

If the Salt Water Balance has been done accurately while moving the 
search coil up and down only very small or no signals from the salt water
