13 DELEÓN OPERATOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Below are some of the possible readings from various targets. These
are not exact and your machine may read slightly different. Take the time
to learn the readings and responses for your machine, both in the air test
and in the ground.
Small Iron Target (Screw or Nail): You may or may not get an audio sig-
nal depending on the size and shape of the target. However, you will get
a meter reading.
Iron Washer or Odd-Shaped Iron: Odd-shaped iron targets or iron targets
that have holes can fool many machines. As it starts to pass under the
edges of the coil, it produces a signal that looks like a silver coin. But as
it nears the center of the coil, the signal shifts to a more traditional iron
signal. Notice the following two illustrations. In the first, the bar graph
shows a small peak in the silver bar and the ID number reads 0. In the
second, the bar graph shows iron but the ID number reads 85.
