Comprehensive Operating Manual & Guide to Metal Detecting

Introduction to the PRO-TECH

The PRO-TECH is a professional grade metal detector, designed specifically for

the Archaeological professional.  It comes equipped with a carry case and

everything you will need on the dig site.  

This manual has been written to help you get optimal use of your detector, so we

hope you will read it thoroughly before your first outing and will also refer back to

this manual from time to time to reinforce features and methods as you become

more proficient in the field.

The new PRO-TECH is unique among professional metal detectors for its

combination of high sensitivity to small targets and its versatile function as an all-

purpose metal detector.  It is lightweight, very easy to use, and the single 9V

batter will give up to 20 hours of continuous use.

The controls and features are tailored to Archeology including a sophisticated

ground balancing system, separate control over signal gain and threshold, and a

unique discrimination control system.  With an on-screen Ground Phase readout

it is possible to notice extreme shifts in mineralization which could indicate a

location where a fire destroyed a wooden structure.
