mode and repeat the test. Note which targets are rejected by the detector in each of the
modes.
The CUSTOM mode allow you to select which of the eight segments are accepted or
rejected and is very useful when you find yourself bothered by a specific piece of trash
and want to ignore it.
Make a record of what your test results show so that you can refer back to them if you
have questions in the field on actual targets.
Many successful treasure hunters take the bench testing concept to the next level and
construct a test garden in their yard. By burying a range of targets, you can see how
ground impacts signal response and practice pinpointing targets which will improve your
recovery rate in the field. Bury several items at depths of 2 to 4 inches. Place them at
least 18 inches apart so that you are not detecting more than one target at the same
time. Mark the location of each target (golf tees work well for this) so that you know
where each item was buried.
NOTE
: Freshly buried targets will be harder to detect than those that have been buried
for years. Take the time to see the impact different settings; i.e., Sensitivity, Volume and
Discrimination, as well as the coil sweep speed have on the response you receive from the
various targets.
