Trigger Pushed forward to Lock “Pinpointing/
Depth Reading”.
When operating in the Relic
MODE and the Trigger on the handgrip is pushed
forward to Lock, the same functions are provided
as if the trigger where squeezed and held. The
audio is changed to an all-metal (no trash rejec-
tion) pinpoint mode and the display provides a
screen that indicates the depth and intensity of
coin-sized targets to further aid in pinpointing
exactly where to dig. Squeezing and releasing
the trigger will automatically return to the Center
“Primary Search” position.
*DUAL CONTROL DISC Preset.
Except for
Iron
ID
, which disables the Discrimination control,
while operating in the Relic MODE the DUAL
CONTROL functions as a traditional discrimina-
tion control. Further clockwise settings provide
greater degrees of trash metal rejection (adjust
the high/low pitch tone indications or audio sup-
pression). Further counter clockwise settings
provide lesser degrees of trash metal rejection or
high/low tone indications.
“Music Notes” Tone ID.
Relic Mode always
starts out with 2
Tone
and will revert back to
Tone 2 upon any On/Off cycle.
Tone 2 -
Metals rejected by the DISC control
setting produce a low pitch tone; metal items
accepted by the DISC control setting produce a
higher pitch tone.
Two additional Tone ID settings are available in
the Relic Mode by pressing “music notes” Tone
ID;
Iron ID -
Disables the Discrimination control so
that “All Iron” indicates with a low pitch tone,
and “All Non-Iron” indicates with a higher pitch
tone. Discrimination control disabled has no
influence over audio.
Tone 1 –
Based on the Discrimination control
setting, rejected targets audio is suppressed.
Chapter MXT Pro Controls
Iron, if accepted by the discrimination control
setting, produces a low pitch tone. Accepted
targets produce a high pitch tone. As the Dis-
crimination control is advanced (clockwise), the
audio of targets below the current Discrimina-
tion level is suppressed, broken, and/or modi-
fied in consistency.
*Trigger (on handgrip) - Center Position “Pri-
mary Searching”
Squeezed and held, and/or pushed forward
and locked “Temporally Disables (stops)
ground tracking”. Provides the same function
as holding Ground Grab during Ground or
Salt TRAC control positions.
Depth reading can only accurately be calibrated
by knowing ahead of time approximate target
size. No two nuggets are the same size so any
attempts to apply depth indications are funda-
mentally flawed (in error). Therefore while operat-
ing in the Prospecting MODE rather than giving
a known flawed depth indication, squeezing and
holding the Trigger on the handgrip, or pushing
it forward to lock, simply and temporarily stops
ground tracking.
Remaining over the target can often cause the
detector to see more target than ground and
cause the detector to think the target is ground
and attempt to track out the toggle. Squeezing
and holding the trigger when analyzing weak sig-
nals stops tracking and prevents such errors.
*DUAL CONTROL SAT Preset.
While operating
in the Prospecting MODE, the DUAL CONTROL
functions as a Self Adjusting Threshold (SAT)
control to smooth inconsistencies in the ground
and thus the Threshold. More on SAT under the
section dedicated to the DUAL CONTROL.
