AUDIO TARGET ID

-Motion modes only

In the DISC, NOTCH or AUTONOTCH

modes, the detector emits three

distinct tones, which classify metal

objects into categories

IRON & STEEL:

In the DISCRIMINATION mode most

iron and steel objects will induce a low

tone. Highly oxidized iron can induce a

high tone. Very large iron objects (like

manhole covers) induce high tones.

GOLD:

Gold objects will induce a low or

medium tone, depending on their

sizes. Very small gold objects will

indicate on the left-most segment.

Large gold objects will read under the

Zinc segment. If you are gold

prospecting, you will usually be

looking for natural gold in an area

which it does not contain much trash,

and can therefore ignore the specific

segment descriptions.

PULL TABS:

Pull tabs are the most bothersome

trash items for detectorist. Most will

induce a medium tone. Older pull tabs

will be eliminated automatically in the

AUTO NOTCH mode, or alternatively

be manually “notched out” in NOTCH

mode with the Disc/Notch control. The

older pull tabs (those not attached to

the can after opening) are sometimes

broken in half; these broken tabs can

induce low tones.

It can be very difficult to differentiate

pull tabs from gold rings. When they

both induce medium tones, you might

notice a “double beep” from a gold

ring but a “single beep” from pull tabs.

To achieve this distinction, sweep the

search coil very slowly, and at different

angles. Two tones might signal as the

detector passes over each side of the

round ring.

COPPER, SILVER & BRASS:

Most valuable coins are composed of

these metals and will usually induce a

high tone. Valuable objects other than

coinage can also be composed of

copper, silver and brass.

Audio Target Identification (ATI) classifies metals into three categories.

LOW TONE

Nails & Bottle Caps,

Gold & Nickel

MEDIUM TONE

Old & New Pull Tabs, Zinc,

Pennies (Post 1982), Larger

Gold Objects

HIGH TONE

Copper, Silver & Brass

Copper Pennies (Pre 1982)
