READING THE DISPLAY

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the PROBABLE identification of the targeted metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth of the target, in inches.

The detector will register a repeating, unchanging target identification when a buried target has been located and identified. If, upon repeated passes over the same spot, the target identification reads inconsistently, the target is probably a trash item, or oxidized metal. With practice, you will learn to unearth only the repeatable signals.

The segment identifications are highly accurate, when detecting the objects described on the label. However, if you register in a given category for an unknown buried object, you could be detecting a metallic object other than the object described on the label, but with the same metallic signature. Also, the greater the distance between the target and the coil, the less accurate the target identification.

GOLD TARGETS Gold objects will register on the left side of the LCD scale. Gold will register depending upon its size. The smaller the gold object, the further to the left it will register.

Gold flakes will register under Iron-1 Small gold items will register under Iron or 5¢/PT.

Medium-sized gold items will register under PT or S-cap.

Large gold items will register under S- cap or Zinc.

SILVER TARGETS: Silver objects will register to the right of the scale, under 25¢, 50¢, or $1, depending on the size of the object. The larger the object, the farther to the right it will register.

IRON: Ferrous objects will register on the far-left side of the target identification scale. 1, 2, or 3 indicates the relative size of iron objects. Small nails, for instance, will usually illuminate the Iron-1 arrow whereas large structural ferrous objects will usually illuminate the Iron-3 arrow.

Objects in this category could be worthless scrap, or a more valuable iron relic. 5c/PT: Nickels and most newer pull- tabs(those that stay attached to the can) will register here.

PT(pull-tabs):Pull-tabs from older beverage cans will register here. Few newer pull-tabs will also register here. Many gold rings will also register here.

S-CAP:Older screw caps from glass bottles will register here. Large gold rings, like a class ring, could also register here. Some non-U.S. coins of recent vintage will also register here.

ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982) will register here. Many non-U.S. coins of recent vintage will also register here.

Cu10¢: Dimes and pre-1982 pennies will register here. Older, pre-1982, pennies are composed of copper, which has a metallic signature similar to a dime. Most copper coins will register here.

Caution: The target indications are visual references. Many other types of metal can fall under any one of these categories. While the Legacy 3300 will eliminate or indicate the presence of most common trash items, it is impossible to accurately classify ALL buried objects.

DEPTH INDICATOR:

The Depth Indicator is accurate for coin-sized objects. It indicates the depth of the target, in inches. Large and irregularly-shaped objects will yield less reliable depth readings

When passing over an object, the depth indicator will light up and stay illuminated until another object is scanned. Repeated indication at the same depth level indicates an accurate target detector. If the depth indication varies with each sweep, try sweeping at different angles; there may be more than one target present. With practice, you will learn the difference between accurate readings, multiple targets, and highly erratic readings which evidence trash or irregularly shaped objects.
