Depending on the quality, about 15 percent of gold rings cause the detector to sound a
medium tone.
Outdoor Testing and Use
1. Rotate the VOLUME switch clockwise away from OFF to power on the detector.
2. Follow the steps of 2 described on section of Indoor Testing and Use to set the
operation mode.
3. Find an area on the ground outside where there is no metal.
4. Place a sample of the material you want the detector to find (such as a gold ring or a
coin) on the ground.
NOTE:
If you are using valuable metal such as gold to test the detector, mark the area where
you place the item, to help you find it later. Do not place it in tall grass or weeds.
5. Hold the search coil level to the ground about 1-2 inches above the surface. Slowly
move the search coil over the area where you placed the sample, sweeping the search
coil in a side-to-side motion.
Search coil Sweeping Hints:
•
Never sweep the search coil as if were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will cause false readings.
CORRECT
WRONG
•
Sweep slowly, hurrying will cause you to miss targets.
•
It is better you sweep the search coil from side to side on an arc line of 3 inches
motion and keep the search coil parallel with the ground.
If the detector detects the item, it sound a tone, an arrow and the depth appear on the
display below the target icon.
If the detector does not detect the item, make sure that the target mode is set correctly
for the type of metal you are searching for. Also make sure that you are moving the
search coil correctly.
