OWNER’S MANUAL

1. This is a MOTION detector.

You must sweep the searchcoil from side-to-side

to detect metal. A motionless searchcoil over a

metal object will not result in detection.

2. Do not use indoors. Detector is for outdoor use only.

Household appliances emit electromagnetic fields, which can interfere with your

detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration, turn the sensitivity down and

keep the searchcoil away from appliances such as microwaves, computers and

televisions. If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights.

Do not test by placing coins on the floor. Most floors contain metal.

Keep the searchcoil away from floors, walls, and tables, which can contain

metal.

3. Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only.

Do not use Heavy Duty batteries.

Do not use ordinary Zinc-Carbon batteries.

4. Adjust sensitivity to a low level in the event of false signals

Always begin use at reduced sensitivity.

Increase to full sensitivity after you are familiar with the detector’s operation.

INTRODUCTION

The Snooper 2 is a user-friendly in stru ment, re quir ing only a min i -

mum of operator skill, yet de liv er ing effective per for mance over a wide

range of conditions and ap pli ca tions.

Streamlined in appearance,

with only two op er at ing

knobs and a mode selection

switch, the Snooper 2 has

elim i nat ed the two most

difficult aspects of metal

de tec tor operation, Tuning

and Ground Bal anc ing. Both

of these functions are automatic

with the Snooper 2.

The Snooper 2 will detect in

extreme ground conditions,

ranging from salt (for beach

hunting) to black sand (for

gold prospecting), with no

operator ad just ments to the

circuitry and with no loss of

sen si tiv i ty.

From salt water beach

conditions to black sand

deposits common at gold

prospecting locations, the

Snooper 2 sees through

the earth’s naturally

occurring

minerals to find

buried metals.

Assembling your Snooper 2 Met al

De tec tor is easy and re quires no

tools. Just fol low these steps:

●

1Using the supplied bolt and

knurled knob, at tach the

searchcoil to the low er stem.

●

2Press the button on the up per

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 com fort able upright pos ture,

with your arm relaxed at your side.

●

3Wind the searchcoil ca ble around

the stem. Leave enough slack in

the cable to let you ad just the coil

when you are hunting on uneven

ground. Then tight en the knob at

the end of the searchcoil.

Note:

To adjust the coil,

simply loos en the knob.

●

4Insert the coil’s plug into the

match ing con nec tor on the con trol

hous ing. Be sure the holes and

pins line up cor rect ly.

Caution:

• Do not force the plug in.

Excess force will cause dam age.

• To disconnect the cable, pull out

the plug. Do not pull on the ca ble.

BATTERIES

IMPORTANT: Always use ALKALINE batteries for optimal

performance.

Always re move the bat ter ies for pro longed stor age.

CHECK THE BATTE IES if your detector exhibits any of the

following symp toms:

●

1The unit does not turn on.

●

2Low speaker volume.

●

3Unit beeps continuously at low sensitivity setting.

The Low Battery indicator light will come on and stay on if the

batteries are discharged. It should flash mo men tari ly when the

Pow er Switch is turned off.

IMPORTANT: Your Snooper 2 met al detector re quires two 9-Volt

ALKALI E batteries.

Follow these steps to install the bat ter ies.

●

1Carefully remove the battery

com part ment door by pressing

the re lease clip on the right side

of the door.

●

2Snap one battery onto each of the

terminals and place the bat ter ies

in side the com part ment. Insert

batteries with the terminals facing

inward.

●

Replace the compartment door

by carefully inserting op po site

side of clip first. Then press down

on clip side until battery door

snaps into place.

The Snooper 2 is a “mo tion” de tec tor. This means that the

searchcoil must be moving to de tect the pres ence of metal. When

practicing with a stationary metal detector, keep the target moving

over the coil. Objects held still un der the searchcoil will not be

detected.

THREE MODES OF OPERATION

The Snooper 2 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, cop per and gold. Applications: Relic

Hunting, Gold Pros pect ing, Cache Hunting and general ap pli ca tions

such as property marker locating. This mode provides maximum

depth detection capability.

FULL DIS CRIM I NATE:

(Toggle Switch to the Left)

When us ing the

Full Dis crim i na tor, most trash items will be automatically rejected.

Ad just the DIS CRIM I ATE con trol high er to in crease the range of

discrimination.

TONE DISCRIMINATE:

(Toggle Switch to the Right)

When us ing

the Tone Dis crim i na tor, a unique dual tone “beep” and automatic iron

re jec tion makes find ing trea sure fun and easy. It's also possible to

achieve a broken tone for certain pull-tabs by ad just ing your

Discriminate con trol to the ap prox i mate center position (12:00).

With the two-tone dis crim i na tion, along with a broken tone for

pull-tabs, you will be able to identify types of buried metals

according to the audio tones emitted. Ap pli ca tions: Coinshooting,

Jewelry Hunt ing and de tect ing in highly trashed areas.

Classifies

Ad just the DIS CRIM I ATE con trol high er to

increase the range of the low tone. It is

pos si ble to set the DIS CRIM I ATE level so

that nick els have a low tone, larg er coins

have a high tone, and pull-tabs have a low

tone or in-be tween “bro ken” tone. The

"broken" tone makes pull-tabs and trash easily recognizable.

Sensitivity will be re duced slightly when

using the Snooper 2 in the Tone

Discrimination mode. If you want optimal

depth capability, operate in the All Metal

mode by turning the Discriminate con trol

completely counterclockwise; then turn the

Sen si tiv i ty control clock wise to its highest

clockwise position without chatter. If your

Snooper 2 chatters or beeps erratically,

reduce the Sensitivity by turning the left

knob coun ter clock wise.

OPERATION

anual SNOOPER2-printer.qx_Snooper2-printer 11/17/14 11:11 A Page 16

AUTO GROUND CONTROL:

The Snooper 2 au to mat ic Ground Track fea ture al lows op er a tion in

virtually all soil conditions, regardless of mineral content.

Use it effectively on the beach or for gold pros pect ing. In the ALL

MET AL Mode (Toggle switch in the middle), the Snooper 2 will detect

gold nug gets through black sand and will find deeply buried relics in

all types of soil.

OPERATING TIPS:

Turn the detector on using the left knob. OTE: The de tec tor will remain

silent when turned on. It will emit sound when metal passes beneath

the searchcoil.

As the left knob is clicked on, it will be at the lowest sensitivity

setting. Turning the control knob toward "HIGH" increases

sensitivity to small or deeply buried objects. If the unit “chat ters”,

reduce the sen si tiv i ty slightly, until the chatter stops.

For max i mum performance, operate with the sen si tiv i ty as high as

possible. The sen si tiv i ty can gen er al ly be set high er when operating

in Full Discriminate (DISC) or Tone Discriminate (TO E) modes.

OPERATION

anual SNOOPER2-printer.qx_Snooper2-printer 11/17/14 11:11 A Page 17

STANCE

Stand with your arm ex tend ed in front of

your body. Don’t bend or stoop; stand in a

comfortable position. Hold the unit so that

the searchcoil is about 1/2-inch above the

ground. Ad just the searchcoil so that it is

par al lel to the ground.

SWEEP

Standing in the search position,

swing the searchcoil gen tly from

side to side, slight ly over lap ping

each sweep as you move

for ward. Keep your searchcoil

ap prox i mate ly 1/2-inch above

the ground as you search.

Rais ing it during the sweep ,

or at the ends of your

sweep, can cause false

read ings. Move slow ly;

hur ry ing will cause you

to miss tar gets.

Most desirable objects will respond with a repeatable tone. When

discriminating, iron and foil objects gen er al ly do not re spond. False

signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical in ter fer ence, or by large

ir reg u lar trash objects. These signals are easily rec og nized by their often

broken or non-re peat able na ture.
