Perform Air Test in Iron ID Mode
When detecting in the field, iron and steel targets can present quite a
problem. Most of the targets have been in the ground long enough to create
a halo of oxidized metal around them. These targets ring very loud and can
waste valuable detecting time by pinpointing and digging them. The Euro
Sabre’s Iron ID Mode is designed to help the detectorist concentrate on the
signals that are not iron.
Experienced detectorists have found that steel washers can be detected
when the discrimination level is turned up high enough to drop out other
ferrous targets. This is due to the hole in the metal. Any ferrous target that
has holes will act in the same manner. As the detector starts to see the
target, a steel washer or other holed target, it will give a phase shift like a
coin target that quickly shifts to an iron-type of response. This can cause
headaches for most users. However, the Euro Sabre’s Iron ID Mode can
accurately identify these problem targets.
Please remember that the Iron ID will only work in the Discrimina-
tion Mode. If the DISCRIMINATE LEVEL is turned higher than the
Iron setting, the Iron ID Mode will not be active. It is recommended that
when you use the Iron ID Mode, you hunt with the DISCRIMINATE
LEVEL at its lowest possible setting.
Before starting, make sure that the DISCRIMINATE LEVEL is turned
completely counterclockwise to the MIN position. Push the Iron ID switch
all the way to the right into AUDIO. The AUDIO Iron ID has three differ-
