Successful treasure hunting starts
with a well researched site.
Sweep the detector head from side to side with a steady relaxed motion.
Keep the search-head parallel and as close as possible to the ground right across
the arc of the sweep. The use of a search-head cover protects the head from abrasion
damage caused by friction with the ground. Search your chosen site carefully by moving
forward only the width of the search-head at each sweep. Move up and down the search
area in lines so that there is plenty of overlap in the ground you have covered.
Search with the sensitivity set as high as possible according to the ground conditions.
On the majority of inland sites the recommended sensitivity setting is ‘8’ to achieve the
best results. Some types of ground may give rise to false signals and the sensitivity level
should be reduced to a point where operation of the detector becomes stable.
Some detector users prefer to set the sensitivity control at a point where there is no
background tone, sometimes called
‘silent search’.
With the detector set like this it is more noticeable when a target signal occurs.
If the detector is set at maximum sensitivity there will be an audio tone constantly
in the background and a metal target will be registered by a short increase in
the intensity of that tone.
We recommend searching with a low level of discrimination (between ‘1’ and ‘4’).
At this setting the CS2MX will not react to small pieces of iron but will give a positive
audio tone on other metal targets. Increasing the discrimination level will eliminate signals
from a wider range of metal objects which are likely to be rubbish.
(See Notes on Sensitivity, Ground Effect and Discrimination).
When the detector gives a signal, move the search-head to the approximate area where
the signal was heard, press the pin-point button (using your thumb is best) and move
the search-head carefully around. The strongest signal will occur directly below
the centre of the search-head. Dig a neat hole by cutting around the signal position
with a sharp edged trowel and remove a divot of earth which might now contain
the metal object. Run the detector over the area again in pin-point mode to see
if the metal object is still in the hole or in the piece of earth which you have just removed.
Dig some more and sift through the earth until you find what you are looking for.
Fill in the hole before moving on.
The use of headphones will increase battery life and make it easier to discern
faint signals.
Follow the ‘Country Code’. Do not trespass. Do not touch anything you suspect
might be live ammunition - inform the police.
Do not take your detector on any scheduled historic site. If you find anything which
looks like it could have historical significance, report it to your local museum.
Acquaint yourself with any laws relating to the use of metal detectors particularly
if you want to go detecting in countries other than the UK.
