The Surveyor is a great tool that may also be used for many hobby applications
as described below.
COINSHOOTING
The most popular metal detecting application. When coinshooting, you want to
discriminate out pull-tabs, screw caps, and iron objects. Beware that highly
oxidized steel may also be detected. In the event of low tones, tune
Discrimination control to induce "scratchy" tones; these might be trash items.
Control Settings Required:
1) DISC Mode
2) DISCRIMINATION knob in 2:00 position
RELIC HUNTING
A relic is a historical object, sometimes of great value. Relics can be found in
abandoned homes, plowed fields, or even your own back yard. Research the
local library to learn of historical events or places in the area. You can then target
your search to a specific area and gain valuable insight into the local history.
Always obtain permission before entering private or government property.
Control Settings Required:
1) ALL-METALS Mode
2) SENSITIVITY at High
CACHE HUNTING
A cache, pronounced "cash" is a buried or hidden valuable stored inside a case,
strongbox, or bag. A cache can be hidden in the floor or walls of a house, or
buried nearby.
Control Settings Required:
1) ALL-METALS Mode
2) SENSITIVITY at High
JEWELRY HUNTING
Jewelry can be found wherever people congregate. Beaches, parks,
schoolyards, and fair grounds are all littered with lost jewelry. Gold necklaces
are very difficult to detect unless they are packed tightly together. Rings can
induce tones similar to pull-tabs.
Control Settings Required:
1) DISC Mode
2) DISCRIMINATION Control adjusted constantly to discern nature of
buried object.
