Do not attempt to place coins on the floor of your
home or apartment; the metal in the floor will
interfere with the signal.
It is best to have a friend hold the detector body, with
the search coil suspended in the air, while you pass
the coins.
If you turn the detector on and turn the Trash
Eliminator switch fully clockwise (to the right), you will
hear different tones. Pass a penny, nickel, dime,
quarter, nail, screwdriver and pull-tab. Notice the
different sounds, or no sound at all! Turn the Trash
Eliminator to many different settings, and sometimes
notice different tones for the same object.
