The 

SOUNDS

 menu allows you to 

define how the tone varies with target 
characteristics. This can be a very useful 
feature in identifying targets close to 
each other. 

It is possible to instruct the detector to 
emit a distinct sound responding to an 
object’s ferrous characteristics, rather 
than its conductive properties. To test 
sounds upon selection it is necessary to 
move the coil across one or more targets 
with different conductive and ferrous 
properties.

Try testing the 

SOUNDS

 settings with an 

All Metal Pattern and a range of different 
targets (pg. 36). 

CONST

Selecting 

CONST

 eliminates the 

variation of the tone upon detection. 
All targets regardless of ferrous or 
conductivity information will sound the 
same.

CONST

 is a good option for new users 

who find the different tones a little 
overwhelming.

PITCH

HOLD

 will not function with 

CONST

selected.

SOUNDS - 
Tone Identification

CONDUCT

This is the Factory Preset selection. 

CONDUCT

 emits the tone according to 

the target’s conductivity (the vertical 
axis of the Smartfind screen).

A high tone signal denotes a large, 
highly conductive object with Target 
Crosshair displayed near the top of 
the Smartfind screen (or near a Digital 
rating of 31). A low tone denotes a small 
object with low conductivity. The Target 
Crosshair is displayed near the bottom 
of the Smartfind screen (or near a Digital 
rating of 1).

CONDUCT

 is often preferred by coin 

hunters, as desirable targets such as 
gold, copper and silver coins will give a 
high tone signal response. Compared to 
lower conductive junk targets such as 
foil and pull tabs.

FERROUS

Selecting 

FERROUS 

emits the tone 

according to the target’s ferrous content 
(the horizontal axis of the Smartfind 
screen or the first number in the Digital 
display). 

A low ‘blaat’ tone denotes a highly 
ferrous object, displayed on the left 
of the screen and having a high 

FER

number. A high pitched ‘squeak’ tone 
denotes a non-ferrous target, displayed 
on the right of the Smartfind screen and 
having a low Fer number.

Ferrous is often preferred by relic and 
jewelry hunters as low conductive 
targets will often give a higher pitched 
signal compared to 

CONDUCT, 

as shown 

by target 3 in the example below.

It may be logical to select 

FERROUS

 if 

searching in Iron Mask, that way there 
is no chance of a high-ferrous target 
producing a high tone signal due to its 
high conductive characteristics.

Factory Preset: 

CONDUCT

Targets 1 and 2 will produce an identical 
high tone response as their conductivity 
is the same (

COND

23).

Target 3 will produce a much lower 
tone response as it has a much lower 
conductivity rating (

COND

 5).

Targets 2 and 3 will produce an identical 
high tone response as their ferrous 
content is the same (

FER

 6).

Target 1 will produce a low tone 
response as its ferrous content is high 
(

FER

 25).

Targets 1, 2 and 3 will produce identical 
tone response.
