User’s Manual

To get the most enjoyment from your Metal Detector, we suggest you do the

following:

1. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

• Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.

• Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon Batteries.

2. Make sure the right knob is clicked on (i.e. not in battery-test

position).

3. Use your detector OUTDOORS only

• Large metal objects inside the home may interfere with the

detector’s operation. Floors and walls of most homes contain

metal.

• Electrical appliances inside the home, like microwave ovens,

televisions, and some light fixtures, emit electromagnetic energy

which can interfere with the detector’s operation.

• Do not place coins on the floor of your home and try to detect.

Try this test outside only.

• If conducting an indoor demonstration, hold search coil off

ground and wave coins over search coil.

Installing Batteries

Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only!

1. Remove the battery door from the underside of the detector.

2. Pull out the two battery connectors.

3. Snap on two 9-volt ALKALINE batteries.

Do not use Heavy Duty or ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries.

4. Place batteries into compartment one on top of the other.

5. Replace the battery door.

Slide over until it shuts securely in place.

All battery brands differ slightly in size.

If you want to secure the batteries more tightly in the

compartment, feed the battery wires underneath and between the

batteries.

If batteries fit too tightly, causing battery door to bulge, move

battery wires toward front of compartment, not between the

batteries.

Quick-Start Demo

Try this quick way to demonstrate the basic features of your metal detector:

I. Supplies Needed

a. A nail

b. A zinc penny (pennies dated after 1982 are made of zinc)

c. A quarter

II. Position Your Detector

Keep the detector away from floors, walls, and metal objects.

One person holds the detector still, so that another can sweep

coins under the coil.

Sweep coins under the bottom of the search coil.

III.

Beginning Settings

a. Left Knob: At 6:00 position

b. Right Knob: Click on, but keep counterclockwise

IV. Detecting All Types of Metals

a. Wave each object over the search coil. Notice the tone is

loudest as the object passes over the center.

b. Pass each object at varying distances from the search coil.

Notice that the sound gets louder as the object moves closer to

the search coil. Also notice that beyond a certain distance, the

object is no longer detected.

V. Eliminating Some Metals

a. Wave the nail and slowly turn the right knob to the right.

• Notice where the nail is eliminated from detection

b. Wave the penny and keep turning the right knob until the

penny is eliminated from detection

c. Wave the quarter

• Notice that the quarter is never eliminated from detection.

Adjusting Length

Loosen the tube clamping nut 1/4 turn

Extend tube assembly

1. Grasp the top tube with one hand.

2. Grasp the search coil with the other hand.

3. Pull two sections apart to slide the bottom tube out of the top

tube.

Establish Tube Length

1. Pivot the search coil perpendicular to the tube.

2. Place detector in user’s hand, with arm extended.

3. Adjust tube length so that search coil rests on the ground, close

to the user’s feet.

4. Align the coil to the detector body.

5. Tighten the tube clamping nut, while

holding the search coil in place on

the ground to prevent twisting of

the tube assembly while tightening.

Battery Test

Click the right knob fully counterclockwise (all the way to the left), in order to test

the batteries.

If the batteries are good, the needle will move to the right and enter the green

zone on the indicator label.

If the needle does not enter the green zone, replace the batteries.

Practicing Outside

1. Turn the detector on

a. Rotate left knob clockwise to a high sensitivity setting.

b. Click right knob on to exit the “battery test” mode.

c. Maintain right knob in counterclockwise position, but do

not click into the “battery test” mode.

2. Find a clear area in the grass

Sweep the search coil around the grass to find an area where

the detector does not beep. In order to test your detector, you

must first find an area free of metal objects.

3. Toss these metal objects on the ground

a. A nail or other iron object like a small screwdriver

b. A zinc penny (dated after 1982)

c. A quarter

4. Keep the objects spaced apart on the ground

5. Sweep the search coil over each of the objects

a. You must keep the search coil moving.

b. Notice that the sound is loudest when the metal object is

under the center of the search coil.

c. While sweeping back and forth, slowly raise the search coil

several inches off the ground.

Notice that the sound is louder when the search coil is closer

to the objects.

6. Turn the right knob progressively to the right while passing the

search coil over each of the objects

The nail (or small iron object) is eliminated from detection

with the right knob in approximately the 3:00 position.

The zinc penny (pre-1982) is eliminated from detection with

the right knob in approximately the 6:00 position.

Sensitivity and Target Elimination

Adjusting Sensitivity

The left knob clicks on to power the detector on.

After turning on, the left knob is used to control the detector’s sensitivity level. In

the 100% clockwise position, the detector is at maximum sensitivity. At this

level, the detector will detect a coin-sized object, like a quarter, up to 5” away

from the coil. Very large metal objects will be detected up to one and one-half

feet from the search coil at maximum sensitivity.

Reduce the sensitivity if the detector chatters or emits false signals; your detector

is probably reacting to electromagnetic interference.

Target Elimination

The right knob is used to eliminate unwanted metals from detection.

For instance, you may be searching for coins, and want to eliminate objects like

nails, bolts, or pull-tabs from detection.

As you turn the right knob clockwise, you progressively eliminate different types

of metals from detection. As you rotate the right knob, you first eliminate iron

objects from detection. Iron objects include nails, bolts, old cans, and tools.

Next, you eliminate nickels, pull-tabs, and finally zinc pennies.

Gold is also eliminated from detection with the right knob. First smaller gold

objects are eliminated; as you rotate the knob further, larger gold objects are

eliminated. Silver objects, like high-value coins, are not eliminated from

detection.

Refer to this scale for the relative positions at which different types of metals are

eliminated from detection:

Operation in the Field

Sweep the search coil from side to side, in slow, overlapping motions.

Keep the search coil parallel to the ground.

Keep search coil 1/2” off the ground and try not to make contact with the ground.

Try not to lift the search coil at the end of your sweeps. This may be difficult for

younger children, but the closer the search coil is to the ground throughout the

sweep, the more likely you are to find buried metal objects.

Keep the left knob in the maximum sensitivity setting possible.

Click the right knob on and start searching with it in the fully counterclockwise

position.

You may want to move the right knob during your search, depending on what

you find. For instance, if you start searching with the right knob to the left(but

not in battery test mode), you will detect all types of metal objects. If you find

that you are in a trashy area, and wish to eliminate unwanted objects from

detection, sweep the search coil over an undesirable object while turning the

knob. Find the knob setting at which certain types of metals are eliminated, and

adjust your settings accordingly.

CAUTION: Gold rings can be eliminated from detection along with pull-tabs.

Be aware that some desirable objects, like nickels and gold, are

eliminated from detection in the middle of the range. Gold rings have a

metallic signature similar to pull-tabs; nickels have a metallic signature

similar to some newer pull tabs. It requires practice and patience to

understand what types of objects are eliminated at each setting.

Pinpointing

Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the sus-

pected target area.

1. Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue

sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern.

2. Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep” occurs

as you move the coil slowly from side to side.

3. Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.

4. Now move the coil straight forward and straight back towards you a

couple of times.

5. Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the “beep”

occurs.

6. If needed, “X” the target at different angles to “zero in” on the exact

spot on the ground at which the “beep” occurs.

REMEMBER: The detector will beep just as the search coil passes over the

buried object.

If you have difficulty pinpointing very strong signals, try lifting the coil higher

off the ground until a weaker, but more concise, signal is heard. For very

weak signals, try moving the coil in short quick sweeps, closer to the ground.
