Operation in the Field

Sweep the search coil from side to side, in slow, overlapping motions.

Keep the search coil parallel to the ground.

Keep search coil 1/2” off the ground and try not to make contact with the ground.

Try not to lift the search coil at the end of your

sweeps. This may be difficult for younger

children, but the closer the search coil is to the

ground throughout the sweep, the more likely

you are to find buried metal objects.

Keep the left knob in the maximum sensitivity

setting possible.

Click the right knob on and start searching with

it in the fully counterclockwise position.

You may want to move the right knob during your search, depending on what

you find. For instance, if you start searching with the right knob to the left(but

not in battery test mode), you will detect all types of metal objects. If you find

that you are in a trashy area, and wish to eliminate unwanted objects from

detection, sweep the search coil over an undesirable object while turning the

knob. Find the knob setting at which certain types of metals are eliminated, and

adjust your settings accordingly.

CAUTION: Gold rings can be eliminated from detection along with pull-tabs.

Be aware that some desirable objects, like nickels and gold, are

eliminated from detection in the middle of the range. Gold rings have a

metallic signature similar to pull-tabs; nickels have a metallic signature

similar to some newer pull tabs. It requires practice and patience to

understand what types of objects are eliminated at each setting.

CORRECT

WRONG

The coil should be

swung in a half- cir-

cle movement as

illustrated here.

Repeat this motion

every step you take

to guarantee that the

area is being covered

thoroughly.
