3-Tone System
Depending on the type of metal detected, and the DISC setting of the detector,
a buried metal object will induce one of the following sounds:
No sound: metals eliminated from detection (or discriminated-out), with
the DISC function.
Low Tone: targets with an ID less than 40.
V.C.O. (variable pitch and volume):
- targets with an ID between 40 and 69.
- targets between 70 and 79 when DISC setting is greater
than or equal to the Target-ID.
High Tone: - all targets with an ID of 80 or greater.
- targets with an ID between 70 and 79
if the DISC setting is less than the Target-ID.
Depending on where the user programs the DISC setting, a given target may
induce different tones.
Target-ID
(continued)
As a general reference, targets fall into the following ranges:
1 - 39 : iron
42 - 48 : foil and small gold nuggets
54 - 57 : gold nuggets, gold rings or targets containing mostly gold
87 - 89 : clad coins or coins of recent vintage
82 - 83 : copper coins
93 - 99 : larger silver coins
Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be identified
for certain until unearthed. This table is for general reference only.
See the table on P. 18 for a more complete listing of Target-ID values for
common metal items.
