Pro Metal Detector. Eurotek is the result

of years of research and development to bring you a detector designed specifically for European
Treasure Hunting conditions.  Treasure Hunting enthusiasts from around the world were
involved in the development of this revolutionary new detector. The Eurotek has Target-ID
resolution never before seen in a detector in this price range. Special iron identification and
audio feedback features are also an industry first. This manual has been written to help you get
optimal use of your detector, so we hope you will read it thoroughly before your first outing.

Happy Hunting from First Texas Products!
