TERMINOLOGY 

The  following  terms  are  used  throughout  the  manual,  and  are  standard  terminology 

among detectorists.   

 

ELIMINATION -

 Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector 

will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the 
coil’s detection field.   

 

DISCRIMINATION -

 When the detector emits different tones for different types of 

metals,  and  when  the  detector  "eliminates"  certain  metals,  we  refer  to  this  as  the 

detector "discriminating" among different types of metals. Discrimination is an important 

feature  of  professional  metal  detectors.  Discrimination  allows  the  user  to  ignore  trash 

and otherwise undesirable objects.   

 

NOTCH  -

  Notching  is  the  elimination  of  an  item,  or  range  of  items,  within  the 

metallic spectrum. We “notch-out” an object, or objects, selectively.   

 

AUTO NOTCH -

 It eliminates trash metals automatically and keep the detection for 

most coins. AUTO NOTCH range is preset in the factory and not adjustable.. 

 

RELIC -

 A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with 

the  past.  Many  relics  are  made  of  iron,  but  can  also  be  made  of  bronze  or  precious 

metals.   

 

IRON -

 Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain 

metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron objects are old cans, pipes, 

bolts,  and  nails.  Sometimes,  the  desired  target  is  made  of  iron.  Property  markers,  for 

instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron; cannon balls, old 

armaments, and parts of old structures and vehicles can also be composed of iron.   

 

FERROUS -

 Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.   

 

GND TRAC - 

Ground Track is the process of finding the exact location of a buried 

object.  Long-buried  metals  can  appear  exactly  like  the  surrounding  soil,  and  can 

therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil

 

 

PULL-TABS  -

  Discarded  pull-tabs  from  beverage  containers  are  the  most 

bothersome trash items for treasure hunters. They come in many different shapes and 

sizes. Pull-tabs can be eliminated from detection, but some other valuable objects can 

have  a  magnetic  signature  similar  to  pull-tabs,  and  will  also  be  eliminated  when 

discriminating out pull-tabs.   

 

GND  BAL  -

  Ground  Balancing  is  the  ability  of  the  detector  to  ignore,  or  "see 

through," the earth’s naturally occurring minerals, eliminates false signals from severe 

ground conditions, and only sound a tone when a metal object is detected.   

 

SURF ELIM -

 Surface Elimination can improve the accuracy of detection result in 

soil with mass trash metal. It restrains the signal from trash metal  in soil surface layer, 

and balance the signal from large target.
