METAL DETECTING APPLICATIONS
COINSHOOTING:
The most popular metal detecting application. When coinshooting, you
want to discriminate out pull tabs, screw caps, and iron objects. Beware
that highly oxidized steel may also be detected.
Control settings required.
1) Press DISC/ALL METAL touch pad.
2) Turn the Disc/Notch Knob to the 3:00 position.
RELIC HUNTING:
A relic is a historical object, sometimes of great value. Relics can be found
in abandoned homes, plowed fields or even your own backyard. Research
the local library to learn of historical events or places in the area. You can
then target your search to a specific area and gain valuable insight into your
local history.
Control settings required.
1) Press DISC/ALL METAL touchpad.
2) Turn the DISC/NOTCH knob 100% counterclockwise.
Many relics are iron, so you do not want to discriminate.
CACHE HUNTING:
A cache, pronounced “cash” is a buried or hidden valuable stored inside a
case, strong box, or bag. A cache can be hidden in the floor or walls of a
house, or buried nearby. Operate in the ALL METAL mode.
Control settings required.
1) Press DISC/ALL METAL touchpad.
2) Turn the DISC/NOTCH knob 100% counterclockwise.
JEWELRY HUNTING:
Jewelry can be found wherever people congregate. Beaches, parks, school
yards and fair grounds are all littered with lost jewelry. Your greatest
challenge is the interference from pull tabs and cans. You must use a
discrimination mode: AUTO NOTCH is best.
Control settings required.
1) Press the AUTO NOTCH touchpad.
2) Set Disc/Notch knob at 2:00. Dig only the repeatable low and high
tones, avoid the broken or non-repeatable tones.
OTHER APPLICATIONS:
Use your Pioneer 202 to find property markers, machine parts, and lost
keys. Keep your detector in ALL-METAL mode for these tasks.
Gold prospecting also requires the ALL-METAL mode.
