Swing the searchcoil slowly,
overlapping each sweep as you
move forward. It is important
to sweep the coil at a consistent
speed over the ground as you
search. After identifying a
target, your sweep technique
can help in identifying both the
location and the nature of the
target. If you encounter a weak
signal, try moving the coil in
short, rapid sweeps
over the target zone;
such a short rapid
sweep may provide
a more consistent
target
identification.
Most
worthwhile
objects
will
respond with a repeatable tone.
If the signal does not repeat
after sweeping the coil directly
over the suspected target a few
times, it is more than likely
trash metal.
Crossing the target zone with
multiple intersecting sweeps at
multiple angles is another way
to verify the repeatability of the
signal, and the potential of the
buried target. To use this
method, walk around the target
area in a circle, sweeping the
coil across the target
repeatedly, every 30 to 40
degrees of the circle, about ten
different angles as you walk
completely around the target.
If a high-tone target completely
disappears from detection at a
given angle, chances are that
you are detecting oxidized
ferrous metals, rather than a
silver or copper object. If the
tone changes a different angles,

Assembly is easy and requires no tools.
●
1 Position the lower stem (the straight tube)
with the silver button toward the back.
Using the bolt and knurled knob,
attach the search coil to the plastic
extension protruding from the
lower stem.
●
2 Press the button
on the upper end
of the lower stem,
and slide the
lower stem into
the upper stem.
Adjust the stem to a length
that lets you maintain a
comfortable upright
posture, with your arm
relaxed at your side, and
the search coil parallel to the ground in front of you.
●
3 Wind the cable securely around the stem.
●
4 Insert the plug into the
matching connector on
the right underside of the
detector body. Be sure
that the key-way and
pins line up correctly.
Caution: Do not force the
plug in. Excess
force will cause
damage.
To disconnect the
cable, pull on the
plug.
Do not pull
on the cable.
