NUGGET HUNTING
9
The easiest mode of operation for nugget hunting is the Auto mode (see the
AUTO MODE of operation chapter). Have in mind that the
disc.
control should
be in the
nugget
red zone(Figure 7).
In this position, as in the
AMD
zone you won’t
have audio discrimination of the metallic objects
in the ground. Lets remind you again that in
heavily mineralized grounds the tiny pieces of
gold can sometimes look like iron to the metal
detector, and small iron pieces can look like gold,
so we recommend this mode of operation for
nugget hunting. The advantage is that you won’t
miss any metal target in the ground. Move the
coil just over the grounds surface and with a
mean speed of movement. Probably you’ll need
time to determine the proper search speed and technique. Do not go too fast.
Try to overlap your sweep path so that you won’t miss the small and deeper
metal targets.
For maximum sensitivity and deeper searching with the detector we
would recommend to turn the detector to MANUAL MODE of operation. This
mode of operation will require more patience and very good knowledge of
your detector operation and control. It is designed to find gold nuggets,
however it is very useful for relic hunting, and the detector will also respond to
all metal alloys including common coins.
