TARGET RECOVERY

Once you have pinpointed a target, your objective is to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving virtually no trace of your excavation. There are almost as many ways to do this as there are treasure hunters. Whatever works for you is good enough as long as you don’t break any laws, damage vegetation, or leave your search area looking like a World War II battlefield.

Generally speaking, beachcombers do little if any damage to the environment while recovering targets. However, if you plan to use your 1236-X2 on lawns or in parks, your target recovery method can be very important. Two of the most successful methods are illustrated in a separate booklet enclosed with your 1236-X2.

NOTE:

Whichever tool or method you choose, remember that responsible treasure hunters take pride in their ability to leave soil and vegetation intact and undamaged.

RECOVERY TOOLS

1.A heavy duty, blunt screwdriver is commonly used by expert treasure hunters.

2.A sturdy hunting knife with a 5-inch blade will do the job in most soils. A high quality double edged “survival” knife is an even better (and more expensive) choice since it will be almost impossible to bend or break.

CAUTION: Using a jack knife without a locking blade is a good way to lose a finger!

3.A narrow garden trowel will work in loose or wet soil.

4.Several excellent digging tools are made just for the treasure hunter, and specially designed sand scoops are available for beachcombing.

5.A thin, dull probe is the preferred tool for precise target location.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

indicates weak batteries and no tone means that it’s time for a battery change.

4.VOLUME: This control switches the 1236-X2 on and off and controls the volume of the audio response. A setting of 10 provides maximum audio signal volume.

5.FREQUENCY: This control changes the operating frequency of the 1236-X2 to eliminate interference from nearby detectors. Set it at 0 for normal operation. To eliminate signal interference (usually a pulsing or “motor boating” sound) simply increase it

(+) or lower it (-) slightly. Do not operate at a higher or lower frequency level than necessary as you may experience a slight loss of depth in highly mineralized ground.

6.HEADPHONES: This jack accepts most stereo and mono headphones with quarter inch plugs. Set your headphone to stereo.

7.PINPOINT: When pushed and held, this button switches the 1236-X2 into the No-Motion, All- Metal Pinpoint mode. A located target responds with increasing volume and pitch. Under certain conditions, you may get interference from a nearby detector in the Pinpoint mode but not in the Search mode. In this case, release the PINPOINT button and reset the FREQUENCY Control to another noninterference position. Do not adjust the FREQUENCY Control while the PINPOINT button is pushed in.
