False signals and chatter
The biggest frustrations you will encounter when using a metal detector
are false signals and chatter. The Time Ranger™ is a very sensitive,
deep-seeking detector. It will respond loudly to many targets for which
other detectors might only emit a weak signal. As a result, the detector
may emit false, trash-induced signals that seem confusing. Electrical
interference, or large, irregular trash objects can also cause false
signaling. With practice using your Time Ranger™ in the field, you will
learn to recognize the broken, non-repeatable tones that characterize
the false signal.
Tips for dealing with false signaling
◆ Dig only those targets that emit a strong, repeatable signal as
you move the search coil over the same spot on the ground. Most
good objects will respond with a consistent, repeatable signal. If a
signal does not repeat after sweeping the coil directly over the
suspected target a few times, it is more than likely trash metal.
◆ Metal Detectors emit magnetic fields which can interfere with one
another. If you are detecting with another person who has a
detector, you could have interference between the detectors;
always keep two detectors at least 20 feet apart. Also, avoid
searching under electrical power lines.
◆ As you sweep the search coil back and forth over the ground,
learn to recognize the difference between the signals that occur at
random and signals that are stable and repeatable.
◆ When searching very trashy ground, it is best to scan small areas
with slow, short, overlapping sweeps.
◆
To prevent erratic signals and difficult pinpointing in trashy
areas, set your detector to rejects all trash metals (i.e., reject all
metals in the
GOLD RANGE ) or consider purchasing the Bounty
Hunter™ 4” Gold Nugget Coil System.
Chatter
Electromagnet fields occur naturally or can be man-made. Indoors,
household appliances, particularly TVs and lights, emit electromagnetic
energy. Outdoors, power lines, either overhead or buried, create
significant interference and the earth also emits electromagnetic energy.
The detector’s coil creates a magnetic field. The detector senses other
electromagnetic fields and can sometimes chatter or beep erratically. If
this happens, reduce the detector’s sensitivity.
