This metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When

searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following

challenges and objectives:

1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals.

2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want

to find, like nails.

3. Identifying a buried metal object before you dig it up.

4. Estimating the size and depth of objects, to facilitate digging them up.

5. Eliminating the effects of electromagnetic interference from other

electronic devices.

Your metal detector is designed with these things in mind.

1. Ground Minerals

All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals can interfere with

the signals from metal objects you want to find. All soils differ, and can differ

greatly, in the type and amount of ground minerals present. This detector

has proprietary circuitry to automatically eliminate interfering signals from

minerals that occur naturally in the ground.

NOTE: This detector will not completely eliminate interference from all types

of minerals. For example, the detector IS NOT designed for use on wet

sand saltwater beaches. Another example of soil this detector will not

eliminate is any soil containing large concentrations of iron oxides, which are

usually red in color.

2. Trash

If searching for coins, you want to ignore items like aluminum foil and nails.

You can see the Target-ID value of the buried objects, listen to the sounds

and then decide what you want to dig up. Or you can eliminate unwanted

metals from detection by using the DISCRIMINATION feature.

3. Identifying Buried Objects

Metal objects are identified along the 9-segment Conductivity Arc. This scale is an

indicator of the relative electrical conductivity of different objects. Segments to the

right indicate more conductive targets. Iron objects, which are usually of lesser

value, illuminate on the left-most segments. Silver objects illuminate on the right-

most segments.

4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects

The 3-segment graphic indicates the relative depth of a buried metal object.

This graphic can indicate the relative size of different objects or their distance from

the searchcoil. For a given object, the more distance between it and the searchcoil,

the more arrows illuminated.
