 Sierra Gold Trac Owner’s Guide

1 - 2- 3- GO

GAIN CONTROL KNOB

Turn the Gain Control clockwise until the Power goes on. Then with the Search Coil in the air rotate the 

Gain Control clockwise to a point between 7 & 8 (suggested setting triangle)

THRESHOLD CONTROL KNOB

Turn the Threshold control fully counter-clockwise then turn it back clockwise until you hear a soft 

threshold “HUM”.

LOWER THE SEARCH COIL TO THE GROUND

Now “pump” the coil up and down 2” to 4” over the ground 3 or 4 times and Fast Auto Trac will balance

 out ground minerals

NOW

Now Go for the gold and start sweeping Low and Slow

NOTE

If you experience false signals or constant beeping and popping, turn the GAIN down a bit, until you

 barely hear the threshold hum.

 *NOTE- You may hear a slight fluctuation of the Threshold 

Hum as the SGT tracks out the ground minerals, not to worry, this is OK. 

An annoying reality of gold prospecting is that it is usually done in ground which is mineralized. 

White’s Fast Auto-Trac will take care of most of the ground minerals as long as the ground is reason-

ably uniform. However, there will be locations where there are rocks which are concentrations of iron 
ore, either on top of the ground or buried. The larger ones are easy to identify because your detector 

will make a “boing” sound over them. They are mostly blackish. These are “negative or cold” rocks. 

However, some very tiny (usually reddish brown or greyish) are “positive or hot” rocks. They sound 

like small nuggets and are a pain in the neck. 

Another thing to remember is that MOST GOLD is found in areas that have produced gold back to the 

time of “Gold Rush” and so there is plenty of trash in the ground, including nails, boot tacks, lead bird 

shot, bullets and even tin cans. Since all dedicated prospecting detectors hear ALL METAL OBJECTS 

you will have to investigate every metal signal. Using a Light Wt. Digging pick with magnets in the 

handle will help to quickly recover small bits of iron like nails. However, you MUST dig all the other 

metals which could be GOLD including lead. When you find your FIRST BIRD SHOT you will know 

that you have ARRIVED and are not missing small nuggets. You are truly now an Electronic Gold 

Prospector.
