If you are using a coin, the detector will detect it more easily if you hold
it so a flat side is parallel with the flat side of the search coil. A sweep
with the side of coin over search coil might cause false indication and
unstable display of arrow.
Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Slide POWER to ON. Set the operating mode.
2. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
3. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such
as a gold ring or a coin) on the ground.
Note:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark
the area where you place the item, to help you find it later. Do not place
it in tall grass or weeds).
4. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1~2 inches above the
surface, slowly move the search coil over the area where you
placed the sample, sweeping the search coil in a side-to-side
motion.
Search coil Sweeping Hints:
Never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the
search coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause
false readings.
