2. DISPLAYS
The target indicator includes target icons and LCD displays and is located at the top of the detector. It can indicate
coins of different type, gold, silver etc. When the detector detects an object, an arrow appears below the target icon of
probable type of metal being detected. Also displays the depth of the target. If the detector receives a strong signal, the
arrow appears steadily. If the signal is weak, the arrow blinks or does not appear.
Note:
If the detecting pauses for about 5 seconds, the arrow will disappear.
If an arrow points to a coin denomination, the detector might be detecting either a coin or another type of metal
(such as jewellery, tokens, medals, or even scrap metal) about same size and type as a coin.
Since the indications are approximations, the detector may not have actually found the item it indicates. The
indicator is only a visual reference to help you decide if an item is worth investigating.
