IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (motion modes only)

You may encounter some false signals as you proceed. False signals occur when the detector beeps, but no metal target is present. False signals can be induced by electromagnetic interference, oxidation, or highly mineralized ground soils. If the detector beeps once, but does not repeat the signal with several additional sweeps over the same spot, there is probably no target present.

When searching very trashing ground, it is best to scan small areas with slow, short sweeps. You will be surprised just how much trash metal and foil you will find in some areas. The trashiest areas have been frequented by the most people, and frequently hold the most promise for finding the most lost valuables. To make searching easier in very trashy areas, consider purchasing a 4- inch Searchcoil. The 4-inch

coil’s narrower detection field can better distinguish between two objects in close proximity.

Also maintain the searchcoil positioned just above the surface of the ground, without making contact with the ground. Making contact with the ground can cause false signals.

False High Tones:

If detector emits false high tones in DISCRIMINATION mode, try rotatting the GROUND BALANCE knob slightly

counter clock wise.
