Adjusting the Arm Rest
The arm rest may be moved
forward or backwards by
removing the single screw and
nut, and then repositioning the
2-piece arm rest. Users with
shorter arms may find the arm
rest more comfortable in the
forward position. In order to
move the arm rest backwards,
the plastic plug must be
removed from the aluminum
tube.
Arm Rest Strap
(not included)
Some users prefer to use a strap
when swinging the detector
vigorously, in order to hold the
detector secure against the arm.
The strap may be purchased as
an optional accessory.
The detector can also be used
without the strap with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most
conditions.

Swing the search coil slowly,
overlapping each sweep as you
move forward. It is important
to sweep the coil at a consistent
speed over the ground as you
search. After identifying a
target, your sweep technique
can help in identifying both the
location and the nature of the
target. If you encounter a weak
signal, try moving the coil in
short, rapid sweeps
over the target zone;
such a short rapid
sweep may provide
a more consistent
target
identification.
Most
worthwhile
objects
will
respond with a repeatable tone.
If the signal does not repeat
after sweeping the coil directly
over the suspected target a few
times, it is more than likely
trash metal.
Crossing the target zone with
multiple intersecting sweeps at
multiple angles is another way
to verify the repeatability of the
signal, and the potential of the
buried target. To use this
method, walk around the target
area in a circle, sweeping the
coil across the target
repeatedly, every 30 to 40
degrees of the circle, about ten
different angles as you walk
completely around the target.
If a high-tone target completely
disappears from detection at a
given angle, chances are that
you are detecting oxidized
ferrous metals, rather than a
silver or copper object. If the
tone changes at different
