General Pointers
The BLISSTOOL is a true Beep-n-Dig machine. There is no meter, no tone
ID and no unnecessary “bells and whistles”. Perfect balancing with no filters
= extreme depth!
When the machine is set correctly, good targets sound loud and clear while
iron will crackle and break up. If you think you are hearing a good target
from one angle but it breaks up from all other directions, it is 99% iron.
Turning down the
THRESHOLD
can lower your sensitivity to some
extremely deep targets. Keeping the
THRESHOLD
too high may make the
machine a little noisy. It is best to start with the
THRESHOLD
level between
“4-5” and after getting comfortable with the machine – you can then raise it
to your preference.

* keeping the Discr Level at 9 reduces the effects of salt water but you may not hear smaller gold chains
The BLISSTOOL processes very fast and will hear targets in iron infested
areas. Throw some rusty nails down and go over them to hear the “clicking
and popping” of the discriminator at work. Now drop a coin next to the nails
and notice at what speed you are able to hear a good target next to and
along with iron.
Try not to keep the
SILENCER
above “2”. In the beginning, while you are
learning the sounds, it’s OK to set the
SILENCER
higher but you may lose
some small deep non-ferrous targets.
