The Pioneer 101 is a “motion” detector. This means that the
search coil must be moving to detect the presence of metal. When
practicing with a stationary metal detector, keep the target moving
over the coil. Objects held still under the search coil will not be
detected.
THREE MODES OF OPERATION
The Pioneer 101 allows for three modes of operation:
ALL METAL, TONE AND FULL DISCRIMINATE
After turning the unit on, and adjusting your Sensitivity to the
desired setting, you're now ready to decide on your mode of
operation.
ALL METAL:
(Toggle Switch in the Middle)
In this mode, all
different types of metal will be detected such as: iron, steel,
aluminum, brass, silver, copper and gold. Applications: Relic
Hunting, Gold Prospecting, Cache Hunting and general applications
such as property marker locating. This mode provides maximum
depth detection capability.
FULL DISCRIMINATE:
(Toggle Switch to the Left)
When using the
Full Discriminator, most trash items will be automatically rejected.
Adjust the DISCRIMINATE control higher to increase the range of
discrimination.
TONE DISCRIMINATE:
(Toggle Switch to the Right)
When using
the Tone Discriminator, a unique dual tone “beep” and automatic iron
rejection makes finding treasure fun and easy. It's also possible to
achieve a broken tone for certain pull-tabs by adjusting your
Discriminate control to the approximate center position (12:00).
With the two-tone discrimination, along with a broken tone for
pull-tabs, you will be able to identify types of buried metals
according to the audio tones emitted. Applications: Coinshooting,
Jewelry Hunting and detecting in highly trashed areas.
