BENCH TESTS

  You should conduct bench tests to become more familiar 
with your detector’s operation. To conduct a bench test:

1. Place the searchcoil on a flat, non-metallic surface that is  
  several feet from other metallic objects.
2. Select the ZERO mode. 
3. Pass various metal objects (coins, bottle caps, nails, etc.)  
  across the searchcoil at a distance of 8 to 10 cm. Your metal  
  detector will audibly and visually identify the target.
4. Perform this test in all the modes available on your  
  detector. Observe the sounds as well as the graphics on  
  the LCD that are made in each mode.
5. Record the results of your bench tests and refer to them  
  when hunting in the field.

  Once you have determined how your test targets register 
on the Target ID during bench tests, test them in the soil. Bury 
your targets at recorded depths to create a "test plot." Note 
how various targets read based upon whether they are lying 
in the ground flat or at various angles.
  Keep accurate records or surface markers to indicate your 
test plot targets and their depths. Try testing these targets 
again in several months after the ground has settled, during 
periods of extreme drought or after a soaking rain. Take note 
of any changes in how these targets are detected.

tests" conducted in a pristine environment. The target ID scale can 

be influenced by the soil as well as the conductivity, permeability, 

thickness, size, shape and orientation of the target.)
