TREASURE HOUND™ CX
DEPTH MULTIPLIER
Introduction:
The Garrett Treasure Hound™ Depth Multiplier is an optional searchcoil, an accessory
designed for use with the Garrett CX series of detectors.
In order to benefit from the Treasure Hound™ Depth Multiplier, you should first learn
how to use the detector with which you use this accessory. Become familiar with the
detector's controls and how they function, and learn how to operate the instrument's
various features.
Generally speaking, the Treasure Hound™ Depth Multiplier should be used when
searching for metal objects the size of a can, jar, or for elongated objects such as large
metal pipes, tubing or culverts.
Operation:
The CX Series detectors are set to automatically operate in the
ALL METAL
mode. This
means that when the detector is turned on, with the Treasure Hound™ Depth Multiplier
attached, the settings necessary to properly operate the detector are selected.
Auto-
Threshold
which maintains the audio threshold at its previously selected level, is
disabled. The threshold sound may fluctuate due to several reasons including temperature
or ground conditions. If this should occur, retune the detector by pressing and releasing
the
All-Metal or Operate
touchpad.
Search Procedure:
Walk forward with the Treasure Hound™ Depth Multiplier pointing straight ahead and
level or parallel to the ground. Do not scan the Treasure Hound™ as when using a
standard searchcoil. When searching for buried objects, walk back and forth following
parallel lines. Spacing between the scan paths may range from one foot to several feet
depending upon the size of the targeted object.
All types of metal will be detected,
including iron, however most surface trash and small pieces of junk metal will not
be detected.
Also, when searching with the Treasure Hound™ Depth Multiplier, the Ground Balance
and Elimination control functions are not operative. This means that when searching over
highly mineralized soil, detection of ground disturbances may occur as the detector is
raised or lowered. In most instances these disturbances are minor and almost non-
existent, when the Treasure Hound™ is kept level to the surface while searching.
