area where you place the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall
grass or weeds).
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.
Sweep slowly hurrying will cause you to miss targets.
It’s better you sweep the search coil from side to side in an arc line
of 3 inches motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
The detector can detect the metal type with blank frame below the target
name. And an arrow displays below the target if it is found. Meanwhile the
detector rejects or does not respond to other metal types with cross mark in
the frame
displaying below the target name.
When the detector finds any metal, it sounds a tone. A low tone is for iron,
nail, bottle caps. A medium tone is for 5¢
,
1¢
,
10¢
,
some gold rings,
aluminum pull tabs, zinc or copper items. A high tone is for 25¢
,
50¢
,
1$ or
silver items.
If the detector does not detect the item, make sure that the target mode is
set correctly for the type of metal you’re searching for. Also make sure that
you’re moving the search coil correctly.
