Operation

Testing and Using the Detector

The metal detector has two operation modes: ALL METAL & DISC. All metal is used 

to find all kinds of metal targets. DISC is used to discriminate the metal type.

1. To set the operation mode to ALL METAL: turn DISC

knob counter clockwise to the end and turn SENS

knob to high position.

2. Then, hold the search coil parallel with the ground

about .5-2 inches/ 1-5 cm  above the surface. Sweep

the search coil from side to side in an arc line of 2.75

inches/ 7 cm motion.

3. When the detector detects a buried target, it sounds a

tone. User can make a  visual note of exact spot on

the ground where the detector beeps.

4. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Move the search coil

straight forward away from you and straight back towards you a couple of times.

5. Meantime slowly rotate the DISC control clockwise away from ALL METAL until

the unit does not sound or sounds short tone. You can identify what kind of metal

is REJECTED according to the setting position of DISC.

A reference for you to know what kind of metal is rejected depending on the DISC 

setting.

Setting of DISC

Metal Rejected

Near 11:00

Iron

Near 12:00

Iron, Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab

Near 13:00

Iron, Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab, Zinc coin(1¢ 87 version)

Near 15:00

Iron, Nickel coin(5¢), pull tab, Zinc coin(1¢ 87 version),

Copper coin (1¢ 76 version)

For example, if you set up DISC knob to the position near 12:00, it means that metal 

targets like Nickel coin, pull tab, or Iron should be eliminated. Therefore, when you 

detect a buried target and the detector beeps, it may be the metal target of Zinc coin, 

Copper Coin, or Silver.

When  the  DISC  control  is  set  to  the  clockwise  end  most  of  metal  is rejected, 

except silver (25¢,50¢ and $1).

Note: The above chart is for reference only. The actual result may be different by 

each metal detector.

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 miss targets.

• It is 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.
