IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES

When pin point ing a tar get, try draw ing an “X”,

as il lus trat ed, over where the tone is induced.

PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and  is  best  ac com plished  by
“X-ing” the target area. 

1.

Once a buried target is in di cat ed
by  a  good  tone  response,
continue sweep ing the coil over
the  target  in  a  nar row ing
side-to-side pat tern.

2.

Take visual note of the place on
the  ground  where  the  “beep”
sounds.

3.

Stop  the  coil  directly  over  this
spot on the ground.

4.

Now  move  the  coil  straight
for ward  and  straight  back
towards you a cou ple of times.

5.

Again  make  visual  note  of  the
spot  on  the  ground  at  which
the “beep” sounds.

6. 

If  needed,  “X”  the  target  at

different an gles to “zero in” on
the ex act spot on the ground at
which the “beep” sounds.

COIL MOVEMENT

When  swing ing  the  coil,  be
care ful  to  keep  it  level  with  the
ground  about  one  inch  from  the
sur face. Nev er swing the coil like
a pen du lum.

CORRECT

WRONG

6

Use 

ALKALINE

batteries only.

To install the

batteries:

1

Remove 

the

battery  cover  by
disengaging  the
clip at the back.

2

Align the polarity
of  the  batteries
correctly, 

with

the  positive  "+"
toward  the  coil
plug  connection,
as  indicated  by
the    +    and    –
indicators 

on 

the

housing.

3

Insert (2) 9-Volt 

ALKALINE

batteries, with the contacts pointed inward,

and press down on the back of the batteries to snap them into place.

Some  brands  of  batteries  will  require  moderate  force  to  clear  the
retaining tabs.

4

Replace the battery door.

The Low Battery Indicator will come on and stay on if the batteries need
to be replaced.

Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed batteries,
or the use of non-alkaline or discharged batteries.  

If the detector does

not turn on, please check the batteries.

BATTERIES

DO NOT MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES

BATTERY DISPOSAL & RECYCLING

Alkaline batteries may be disposed of in a normal waste receptacle or recycled.

Non-Alkaline batteries should be recycled. In the state of California all battery

types must be recycled. Please refer to local municipalities for detailed disposal

and recycling requirements.
