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.

Pass the search coil repeatedly over a target, and observe the target readout. The detector will register a repeated, 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. For example, if you pass the coil repeatedly over a nickel, your detector will repeatedly register a nickel. However, if you repeatedly register a nickel, for an unknown buried object, you could be detecting some other metallic object with the same magnetic signature as a nickel.

GOLD TARGETS Gold objects will register on the left side of the LCD scale.

Gold flakes will register under Iron/Foil Small gold items will register under Pull Tab.

Medium-sized gold items will register under S-caps.

Large gold items will register as Zinc 1¢.

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/FOIL: All sizes of iron and aluminum objects will register on the far-left side of the scale. This could indicate a worthless item such as a nail, or a more valuable historic iron relic.

PULL TAB: All older pull tabs from beverage cans will register here. Most newer pull tabs will register here. Many gold rings will also register here.

S-CAPS: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.

1¢ ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982) will register here. Many non-U.S. coins of recent vintage will also register here.

10¢: 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.

Caution: The target indications are visual references. Many other types of metal can fall under any one of these categories. You will experience a trash-to-treasure ratio when treasure hunting. The more you practice, the lower you will push your trash-to- treasure ratio. While the Pioneer 202 will eliminate or indicate the presence of most common trash items, it is impossible to accurately classify ALL buried objects. The LCD provides a visual reference to minimize the detection of trash objects. By using the target ID in conjunction with discrimination control and the three- tone audio identification system (discussed later), you can further reduce the trash-to-treasure ratio.
