DISCRIMINATE LEVEL is set to reject pulltabs on any metal detector that is a TR
Discriminator like the Cibola. If you don’t dig any junk at all, you are surely passing up a lot of
good finds as well. Set the DISCRIMINATE LEVEL only high enough to suit the conditions
where you are searching. If there is any doubt whether a target is good or not,
dig it.
Recovering a Target
If the target is shallow and the soil is soft, you may be able to “probe” and find the exact location
of the target before you dig it. Since filling all holes after you recover the target is so important,
digging a small precise hole is best. If the target is deep, you may need to dig a larger hole. As
you dig, occasionally check the hole with your detector to see if you have moved the object, can
probe it, or have already dug it. Be sure to fill all holes after you recover the target. Two methods
are shown on the next two pages that work most everywhere. Be sure to protect your hobby by
leaving the site cleaner than you found it and with all holes filled!
GENERAL INFORMATION - CARE AND USE
Basic Care
The Cibola is a sturdy instrument, but it is not designed to withstand abuse. In caring for your
Cibola, there are several important “DO NOTs” to remember. DO NOT use it to pry rocks loose
or to beat bushes out of the way. DO NOT drop the machine into water. DO NOT use it
unprotected in the rain. DO NOT leave it exposed at night where dew could form on it. DO NOT
store it in places that could get extremely hot (next to a woodstove or in an attic). DO NOT leave
it in the trunk of a car or in the back of a hatchback-style car where high temperatures could
build up. DO NOT store it with the battery installed as batteries may leak. DO NOT spray
lubricants such as WD-40, or any types of cleaners, solvents, sealants or other chemicals into or
onto the electronic parts, witches, or controls. And finally, DO NOT attempt to modify or repair
the detector’s electronics as this will void your detector's warranty.
THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE RESULTING FROM AN
ACCIDENT, NEGLECT OR ABUSE.
Protecting Your Investment
Often detectorists are disappointed when their new detector slowly becomes less and less
responsive and seems to have lost some of its original peak performance. You can help avoid this
from happening to your detector by following these basic care and protection guidelines:
•
Operate your detector exactly as recommended in this Operator Instruction Manual.
