requiresnotools.

●

Position S-Rod upright.

●

Rotate the

LOCKING COLLAR

fully in the

counterclockwise

direction.

●

Insert your finger

inside the tube and

make sure the INTERNAL CAM LOCK is flush with the

inside of the tube.

●

Insert the MIDDLE STEM into the S-ROD,

with the SILVER BUTTON pointed upward

●

Rotate the MIDDLE STEM until the SILVER BUTTON

snaps into the hole.

●

Twist the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the clockwise direction

until it locks.

●

Repeat this process on the LOWER STEM.

●

Using the BOLT and KNURLED KNOB, attach the

SEARCHCOIL to the LOWER STEM.

●

Adjust the LOWER STEM to a length that lets you maintain a

comfortable upright posture, with your arm relaxed at your side,

and the SEARCHCOIL parallel to the ground in front of you.

●

Wind the CABLE securely around the STEMS.

●

Connect CABLE PLUG to housing.

Do not twist the Cable or Plug. Turn Locking Ring only. Use

minimal finger pressure to start the threads. Do not cross-

thread. When the Locking Ring is fully engaged over the

threaded connector, give it a firm turn to make sure that it is

very tight. When the Locking Ring is fully engaged over the

threaded connector, it may not cover all of the threads.

●

Tighten both LOCKING COLLARS.

Relic-Hunting and Coin-Shooting
with the Optional 5” DD Searchcoil

While the

is a high performance, specialized relic hunting metal detector, it is

also a good multi-purpose detector. With the purchase of a 5” DD searchcoil, you

can bring more precision to your coin-shooting and gold prospecting searches.

The standard 11” elliptical

searchcoil is engineered for target separation and

a wide sweep. This searchoil is ideal for searching field stubble and forest

debris often associated with relic hunting sites.

If you want a smaller sweep area, the 5” DD should be considered.

Advantages of the 5” DD searchcoil over the standard 11” searchcoil are:

1. More separation between adjacent buried targets.

Better at extremely trashy sites.

2. More sensitivity to the tiniest targets and gold pieces.

3. Fits into tight spaces.

For information about

the 5” DD searchcoil

(Part#5COIL-TEK,

MSRP=$159.99),

Please call

800-413-4131.
