The  detector  responds  with  a  signal  when  it  detects  most  valuable 

metal  objects.  If  a  signal  does  not  repeat after  you  sweep  the  search 

coil over the target a few times, the target is probably junk metal.

 

 

False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, 

or large irregular piece of junk metal.

 

 

False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.

 

 

In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS   

to a high position. But not to set the level of SENS to Max position,   

or the detector will receive interference and false signal from broadcast   

antenna and other electronic lines. The detector will have unstable   

arrow and irregular tone indications. 

 

Application Hints 

Pinpointing The Target 

Accurately  pinpointing  a  target  makes  digging  it  up  easier.  But  it  takes 

practice.  We  suggest  you  practice  finding  sample  on  your  own  property 

before you search other locations. 

Follow these steps to pinpoint a target. 

1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search 

coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion. 

2. Make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps. 

3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Then move the 

search coil straight forward away from you and straight back towards you 

a couple of times. 

4.

  Repeat steps 1~3 at a right angle to the original search line, Make a mark 

of 

“X” . The target will be directly below the “X” at the point of the beep 

response.
