Swinging Speed and Target Identification
Target Distance
The device provides an estimated target distance according to the signal strength. In the
pinpoint mode, estimated target distance is shown on the display in cms (or inches - please see
below for details) while getting closer to the target.
Distance detection is adjusted presuming that the target is a 2.5cm (1'') coin. Actual distance
varies according to the size of the target. For instance, it will indicate more distance for a target
smaller than a 2.5cm (1'') coin and less distance for a larger target. Pinpoint procedure is not
intended for depth determination but location determination. Therefore, it is recommended
that the distance indicator on the display is used for determining the proximity to the target.
IMPORTANT!
If you want the target distance to be displayed in inches instead of cms please do
the following: While the device is off, press and hold the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons
simultaneously and turn the device on. ''US'' will be displayed. To switch back to cms, you need
to turn the device off and then repeat the above procedure. While the device is initializing, ''IS''
will be displayed.
GOLD RACER
is a detector with very high detecting speed. When you detect a target with
GOLD
RACER
, you should make wider passes instead of narrowing the sweeps and making quick
sweeps over the target like in other metal detectors, in order to receive an accurate ID from the
target. If your swinging speed is not correct, the device may not detect the target accurately and
the target ID numbers may bounce. Also, do not tilt the coil up or down while swinging and
keep it parallel to the ground.
Large or Near-Surface Targets
Targets which are near the surface may give multiple different signals to the device. If you
suspect a target near the surface, lift the search coil and swing it more slowly until a single signal
is received. Also, if there is a large target near the surface it may cause an overload in the search
coil and the device starts to generate a continuous sound which resembles a siren. “Saturation”
message is shown on the display simultaneously. In such a case, lift the search coil up until the
message disappears.
4. Mark the position which provides the loudest sound using a tool or your foot.
5. Repeat the above procedure by changing your direction 90°. Actions to be performed from a
couple of different directions will narrow the target area and provide you with the most exact
details of the target position.
