Cache Hunting

A cache is anything of value that may be hidden or buried to prevent

theft. Long ago, people would hide their life savings near their homestead

because they did not trust banks. Caches also refer to pillaged or lost

treasure.

Cache hunting requires extensive research and careful

deduction.

▲ Recommended mode of operation

Since caches are usually buried deep, the recommended mode of

operation for cache hunting is ALL METAL mode. This mode does

not require motion, helping you determine the size of the object and

pinpoint its location. While hunting in this mode might yield

considerable trash targets, it may be worthwhile if there is strong

evidence that the particular cache you’re hunting for actually exists.

See the ALL METAL mode section of this manual for instructions on

its operation.

▲ Tips for cache hunting

◆ Sweep the search coil slowly; pay particular attention toany

increase in volume, indicating that the unit has detected metal.

◆ Try clearing all surface trash metal to allow the Land Ranger™

to detect deeper targets without interference. You may need to

adjust the detector’s sensitivity; see To adjust sensitivity in ALL

METAL mode section of this manual for instructions on

adjusting the detector’s sensitivity.

◆ If the unit emits a continuous loud signal, there may be too

much trash in the area for it to operate at its ground balance

peak. Try de-tuning the detector by pressing the ALL METAL

AUDIO LEVEL (-) touch pad so that you can distinguish

smaller metal.

◆ If adjusting sensitivity does not work, find another area close

by that contains less metal to assure that the unit is properly

ground balancing.
