Terminology

The following terms are used throughout the manual. 

Elimination

Reference to a metal being “eliminated” means that the detector will not emit a tone, 

nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s

detection field. 

Discrimination 

When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and when the 

detector “eliminates” certain metals, we refer to this as the detector “discriminating” 

among different types of metals. Discrimination is an important feature of 

professional metal detectors. Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and 

otherwise undesirable objects. 

Notch

Notching is the elimination of an item, or range of items, within the metallic spectrum. 

We “notch-out” an object, or objects, selectively. 

Auto Notch

It eliminates trash metals automatically and keep the detection for most coins. AUTO 

NOTCH range is preset and not adjustable.

Relic

A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with the past. 

Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze or precious metals. 

Iron

Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain metal 

detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron objects are old cans, pipes, 

bolts, and nails. Sometimes, the desired target is made of iron. Property markers, for 

instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron; cannon balls, 

old armaments, and parts of old structures and vehicles can also be composed

of iron. 

Ferrous

Metals which are made of or contain iron. 

Gnd Trac 

Ground Track is the process of finding the exact location of a buried object. Long-

buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding soil and can therefore be very 

hard to isolate from the soil.

Pull-Tabs

Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most bothersome trash items 

for treasure hunters. They come in many different shapes and sizes. Pull-tabs can 

be eliminated from detection, but some other valuable objects can have a magnetic 

signature similar to pull-tabs, and will also be eliminated when discriminating out

pull-tabs. 

Gnd Bal

Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or “see through,” the earth’s 

naturally occurring minerals, eliminates false signals from severe ground conditions 

and only sound a tone when a metal object is detected. 

Surf Elim

Surface Elimination can improve the accuracy of detection result in soil with mass 

trash metal. It restrains the signal from trash metal in soil surface layer and balance 

the signal from large target. 

ASSEMBLY

Assembly requires no tools.

1. Open the packing and take out all parts.

2. Join the search coil and the lower stem (fiberglass-made, in black color) then 

    tighten the knob.
