discrimination circuits where rejecting targets is done starting at iron and moving upwards
in a clockwise manner (see the figure on page 6), NOTCH DISCRIMINATION allows you
to select which of the eight segments are accepted or rejected individually. For example,
if you want to reject pull tabs using the DISCRIMINATION MODE, you would need to
also reject the iron, foil and nickel segments. NOTCH DISCRIMINATION MODE allows you
to only reject the pull tab segment while still accepting the other seven segments.
SETTING THE NOTCH MODE: Press the Notch touchscreen button to enter the custom
notch mode. In this mode you can deselect up to (8) of the custom Metal Category
touchscreen buttons. (See page 6). To deselect you simply press one of the (8) metal
category buttons, if you change your mind you can reselect any category by pressing the
same button again. After deselecting the categories you want, next press the Save/Enter
button to save your changes. The TC3X comes with three predefined nonadjustable
Custom programs to meet your specific needs. The Treasure Commander’s programs
include:
4
ALL METALS: This mode is designed to be used when you are looking for any type of
metal that might be present. Treasure hunters searching for old military or settler
artifacts made of iron often use this to ensure no relics are inadvertently overlooked. It is
also a good choice when trying to find where a site used to be and no visible signs remain.
Once metal objects are located indicating you are in the right area, additional
discrimination can be applied.
5
COIN: This mode is designed for coin hunters that want to find coins and other items
while rejecting iron and tinfoil that are often found in the areas where coins are
recovered.
6
JEWELRY: This mode is designed to eliminate some trash while ensuring gold and
silver jewelry including rings, pendants, chains, earrings and other items are detected.
7
PINPOINT: When you want to zero-in on a target that has been detected, entering
the PINPOINT mode will enable you to quickly identify where to dig in order to recover the
target. To pinpoint squeeze the pinpoint Trigger while sweeping the coil across the area
containing the target. The target depth in inches will be shown on the LCD screen along
with the pinpoint intensity target signal strength. To exit the Pinpoint mode, simply
release the pinpoint Trigger.
8
GPS: This function allows you to setup and save up to (10) Waypoints that you might
want to revisit through the power of Global Positioning System technology. The farthest it
will read from your destination is 999 yards or approximately 0.6 miles. The indicated
distance will decrease as you get closer to the saved location. NOTE: When using this
mode, ensure the control box is kept away from metal objects such as a shovel as they
can affect the accuracy of the TC3X’s internal compass.
