Quick Start
Ready to Dig
Permission
- Prior to searching and digging you
must have permission to search private property,
from the owner or caretaker.
Laws
- Know the laws that apply to the area you
are going to search. Laws vary a great deal with the
City, County, State, and Country, regarding the use
of metal detectors. Be respectful of private prop-
erty, public property, and the laws which govern the
use of metal detectors.
Tools
- Care must be taken to dig in a way that is
friendly to the landscape. Tools and methods vary a
great deal with the area, season, and types of target
you are recovering. Check with your dealer for
recommended tools and methods for your area.
Trash
- When searching, remove all trash you come
across. This not only makes your future searches of
the area more productive; it promotes the hobby of
metal detecting.
Get Involved -
Your dealer knows of metal detect-
ing clubs and organizations which promote and
protect the hobby. A club is a great way to not only
learn good detecting habits, but to gain permission
to search areas as a group as well as have organized
competition hunts.
Factory Preset Programs
Reached from the MAIN MENU, the factory PRE-
SET PROGRAMS give a quick start for:
Coins:
general purpose settings, discriminates (re-
jects) most common junk items like nails, foil, pull
tabs, and hot rocks; and responds to most coins and
large jewelry. Use in lawns, parks, and playgrounds
where lots of trash rejection is desired.
Coin & Jewelry:
less discrimination (less trash
rejection), desirable because of the high degree of
variance found in jewelry alloys. More digging
required. Good program for lawns, parks, and play-
grounds. Use screen in conjunction with sound.
Jewelry & Beach
: similar to Coin & Jewelry, but
settings are optimized for salt water.
Relic:
even less discrimination than Coin & Jew-
elry or Jewelry & Beach, all types of metals except
small iron items like nails, and some stainless steel.
Brass, lead, aluminum, as well as copper, silver,
and gold all respond solidly. Ferrous (iron), such
as large nails, weapons, and cannon ball fragments
will also respond . Suitable for all signifi cant targets
and separates ferrous/nonferrous by display indica-
tions.
Prospecting:
NO AUDIO DISCRIMINATION. All
metals respond with
beep
. But V.D.I. numbers show
only for metals that could be gold. Dig only V.D.I.
number (possibility gold) targets and avoid iron.
Targets which cause an audio response, without
causing a V.D.I. number to appear on the display,
are not likely to be gold nuggets. Although high-
frequency gold-shooting detectors will respond
better, this mode will offer good results for the oc-
casional nugget hunter by responding to nuggets in
the six-grain and heavier category.
