3.
Rotate VOLUME to the 11 o’clock position.
4.
Set DISCRIMINATION to its midpoint.
5.
Hold down the RED button on the handle until the pointer on the view meter
rests at or near 0, then release the RED button.
6.
Move a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as
a gold ring or a coin) about 2 inches above the search coil. When the
detector detects a ferrous metal, sound becomes lower or even
disappears. Meanwhile the meter pointer moves to left. When the
detector finds a non-ferrous metal, it makes louder sound and the
meter pointer goes to right. If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery power
and verify that the battery is properly connected. Also, you might need to tune the detector (see
“Tuning the Detector”).
Note:
If you are using a coin, the detector detects it more easily if you hold it so a flat side is parallel
with the flat side of the search coil (not the edge).
Outdoor Testing and Use
1.
Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
2.
Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a coin) on the
ground. (If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where you
placed the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds.)
3.
Rotate VOLUME about two-thirds clockwise. Set DISCRIMINATION to its midpoint.
4.
Press and release the RED button on the handle until the pointer is at or near 0. Then release the
RED button.
5.
While holding the search coil level and about 1-2 inches above the ground, slowly move the search
coil over the area where you placed the sample, sweeping the search coil in a side-to-side motion.

Search Coil Sweeping Hints
Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search
coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep causes false readings.
Sweep slowly – hurrying makes you miss targets.
When the detector detects a ferrous metal, sound becomes lower or even disappears. Meanwhile the
meter pointer moves to left. When the detector finds a non-ferrous metal, it makes louder sound and
the meter pointer goes to right.
If the detector does not detect the material, check the battery power and verify that the battery is
properly connected. Also, you might need to tune the detector (see “Tuning the Detector”).
