(Do not press PINPOINT or COINCHK button.
Hold the quarter in your hand and move the quarter back and forth about 12 inches in
front of the searchcoil bottom.
Gradually move the quarter closer to the searchcoil--as you continue to move it back
and forth--until you hear a "beep." This beep is the target response sound.
Continue to move the coin to test the target response sound. As you do this, try varying
the distance or angle of the coin. Try holding the coin still then moving it slightly. Notice
the difference in the target response sound with each change.
Repeat the test with each coin. Notice that the detector responds to each coin although
the target response sound may vary. Your detector can respond to objects made of any
kind of metal if there is movement between the object and the detector. Operating your
detector in this way is called a "Silent Search."

Turn the DISC LEVEL control from MIN to MAX
Pass the quarter back and forth in front of and close to the searchcoil bottom. Notice
the sound as the coin nears the center of the searchcoil. Now, try this with the nickel and
then the penny. Notice there is no sound with these two coins. The ability of a metal
detector to ignore certain types of metal is called "discrimination." Using your metal
detector in this way is called a "Silent Search Discriminate Mode."
Control settings to ignore most zinc and nickel objects:
•
DISC LEVEL: MAX
•
SENSITIVITY: any
