DISC IAR
The program N°10 GOLD FIELD uses another discrimination method, called IAR (Iron
Amplitude Rejection): the range of discrimination can be applied from 0 to 5. It
applies only to targets that produce strong signals – typically shallow ferrous items. It
will not reject deeper targetswhich may come across as ferrous when they are buried
in mineralisedground, to ensure good targets are not rejected by mistake. Higher
discrimination values, enable the detector to reject deeper ferrous. Gold nuggets
buried deep in mineralised ground can generate a similar signal to a ferrous item, so
in this case it is better to reduce the level of discrimination.
Sensitivity is often simplistically described as the setting which adjusts the
device’s power level. However this is incorrect. As its name indicates, it actually
determines the device’s sensitivity level. It reacts after receiving a signal via the
receiver coil. Nevertheless, the results are somewhat similar in practice, as increasing a device’s sensiti-
vity enables it to detect the presence of more distant targets. However it must be noted that this
setting has no effect on the power emitted.
The most commonly used sensitivity levels range from 70 to 90. It may be necessary to reduce the
level if there is too much interference, as is often the case near overhead or buried power lines, fences,
radio-relay stations, mobile telephones, computers, televisions, etc.
Do not test your device in your home as there is considerable electromagnetic and metal interference
in urban environments.

Large, mainly ferrous and non-ferrous masses. Coins of sufficient conductivity and size. All other medium or relatively
small targets in non-mineralised ground relatively uncontaminated by iron.Good for ferrous masses and militaria.
General use. Coins and large masses, militaria. Medium and small targets in low-mineralised ground.
General use, small coins. Coins of all sizes in medium to highly mineralised ground.

Small coins made from any alloy (gold, silver, copper, etc.) and very fine coins, low conductivity target , gold nuggets,
lead, rings, thin metal, aluminium foil.
Discriminates (distinguishes) coke more easily. Can be more unstable on non-mineralised and moist ground
The Dēus gives you the choice of several detection frequencies from 4 to 80 kHz
depending on the selected coil. The frequencies enable you to adapt your
research more closely to the characteristics of the ground and desired targets.
Here is a brief list of the most likely targets that may be detected according to the frequency:
If you are just starting out, the 8 kHz frequency is a good compromise for general use. On a
wet beach the 18 kHz frequency will be better at finding small gold jewellery such as chain necklaces
and bracelets that are usually so difficult to detect.
