Detector Applications

Coinshooting

Coinshooting is probably the most popular metal detecting application.

Coinshooting opportunities abound—even your own yard may yield some

interesting old coins. You can search for coins just about anywhere—parks,

baseball fields, yards, dirt parking lots and swimming areas are only a few

of the many possibilities.

Most coinshooters strive, at the very least, to find silver coins (pre-1955). You can use

clad coins in current circulation to practice and test your detector’s abilities to identify

targets.

▲ Recommended Mode of Operation

The type of area where you are hunting and the level of trash in that area

usually determines the mode of operation. The recommended mode of

operation for coinshooting is DISCRIMINATION mode with the following

settings.

PRESET Level 3 (P3)

If an area is heavily trash laden, try using the third level of PRESET

(PRESET 3). See the DISCRIMINATION Mode, To select PRESET targets

section of this manual for instructions on how to select PRESET levels.

In this mode, the unit responds to all coins types and other possible

trash metal that falls under these coin types. This mode may not,

however, detect some gold rings, and might still detect a percentage of

pull tabs especially those that are broken in half (Beaver Tails).

As you are sweeping your coil, you may get many types of signals and

idications in a trashy area. Try to dig only signals that are repeatable and lock

onto the target ID. Depending on what level of SENSITIVITY you’ve selected,

you may encounter numerous DEEP TARGET indications. Only attempt to

dig a DEEP TARGET indication if it is repeatable. Even then, the signal may

disappear once you start digging, possibly because the object is highly

oxidized or is recognized as trash metal once the detector comes into range.
