DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY
READING THE DISPLAY
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the
PROBABLE identification of the targeted
metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth of
the target, in inches.
An arrow will illuminate under the
target category where an object is
best classified, and stay illuminated
until another target is identified.
The detector will normally register a
repeating, unchanging target
identification when a buried target has
been located and identified. If, upon
repeated passes over the same spot,
the target identification reads
inconsistently, the target is probably a
trash item, oxidized metal, or too deep
to be classified accurately. With
practice, you will learn to unearth only
the more repeatable signals.
The segment identifications are highly
accurate, when detecting the objects
described on the label. However, if you
register in a given category for an
unknown buried object, you could be
detecting a metallic object other than
the object described on the label, but
with the same metallic signature. Also,
the greater the distance between the
target and the coil, the less accurate
the target identification.

Gold objects will register
on the left side of the LCD scale. Gold
will register depending upon its size. The
smaller the gold object, the further to the
left it will register.

Silver objects will
normally register to the right of the scale,
under 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, or $1, depending
on the size of the object. The larger the
object, the farther to the right it will
register.

Ferrous objects will register on
the far-left side of the target
identification scale. 1, or 2 indicates
the relative size of iron objects. Small
nails, for instance, will usually illuminate
the Iron-1 arrow whereas large
structural ferrous objects will usually
illuminate the Iron-2 arrow.
Objects in this category could be
worthless scrap, or a more valuable iron
relic.

PINPOINT
This is a static search and static pinpointing
mode; no coil motion over the target is required
to detect metal. This mode is most effective in
pinpointing the exact location of small buried
objects. The detection sensitivity of this mode is

DISC
This control invokes
motion target identification
search modes.
Successive presses of the DISC pad will toggle
back and forth between the:
1. All-Metal Discrimination mode: a motion
mode where all metal targets are detected
and the:
2. Discrimination mode: a motion mode where
the user can selectively eliminate target
categories from detection.
When the detector powers up, it automatically enters ALL-METAL
DISCRIMINATION mode with no targets eliminated from detection.
Press DISC to enter discrimination mode.
