Practical use in the Discriminating mode of operation
-In the prepared from your test field add a ferrous utensil with a
diameter of 5-6” and bigger, and at 6 – 10 feet, some other iron
instruments.
-Tune the detector in the Manual Mode far from any metals, and
after that switch it to the Automatic Mode of operation, as
previously done. The “Sensitivity” control is on the OFF position.
Now Passover all the targets repeatedly, moving with a normal
pace. Note, that the detector gives an audio response to all of your
targets in the test field. Iron targets are indicated by the red
(ferrous) LED light on the intensity meter. This should work most
of the time, it is the magnetometer which discriminates the ferrous
from non-ferrous metals.
-Turn the Sensitivity control to the MAX position. Wait till the red
light of theindicator fades. Switch to A/D position of the toggle
switch (full discrimination).
-Now pass again repeatedly over your sample targets. Note, that
the non-ferrous plates, even if buried deep in the ground, will
produce a good audio response without a red light of the indicator.
-The LED indicator will illuminate on all the remaining iron
targets, no matter their size, and audio discriminated. The smaller
target won’t produce an audio response.
-The bigger targets will produce an increasing sound, when you
approach the coil to them, followed by a sharp lapse into silence,
together with an illuminating LED indicator.
-This mode of operation allows avoiding the unnecessary digging
of the unwanted ferrous targets. The detector discriminates all the
ferrous objects lying in the upper arable layer of the ground. The
discrimination is not affected by the size, the oxidation and the
aging of the ferrous objects within the detection range of the
