TERMINOLOGY

The  following  terms  are  used  throughout  the  manual,  and  are  standard

terminology among treasure hunters.

ELIMINATION

reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not

emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes

through the searchcoil’s detection field.

DISCRIMINATION

When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and

when  the  detector  "eliminates"  certain  metals,  we  refer  to  this  as  the

detector "discriminating" among different types of metals.

Discrimination  is  an  essential  feature  of  professional  metal  detectors.

Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and other undesirable objects.

RELIC

A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with

the past.  Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze

or precious metals.

IRON

Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain

metal detecting applications.  examples of undesirable iron objects are

old cans, pipes, bolts and nails.

Sometimes, the desired target is made of iron.  Property markers, for

instance, contain iron.  valuable relics can also be composed of iron;

cannon balls, old armaments, and parts of old structures and vehicles

can also be composed of iron.

FERROUS

Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.

PINPOINTING

Pinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried object.

Long-buried metals can appear to the eye exactly like the surrounding

soil, and can therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil.

V.C.O.

Meaning “voltage controlled oscillator”, the v.C.O. audio method causes

both the audio pitch and the volume to rise as signal strength increases.

v.C.O. improves the user’s ability to interpret a target’s size and depth.

very  weak  signals  (for  small  or  very  deeply  buried  objects)  have  the

faintest volume and the lowest pitch. Larger objects, and those closer to

the searchcoil, will induce a higher volume and higher pitch sound.

GROUND BALANCE

Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see through" the

earth’s naturally occurring minerals, and only sound a tone when a metal

object  is  detected.  The  Gold  Bug

®

incorporates  proprietary  circuitry  and

programming to eliminate false signals from severe ground conditions.
