5.Reset the balance of the Metal Detector.
6.Bring the nickel coins close to the Search Coil. The indicator will move to the left and the sound will get softer. Bring the silver coins close to the Search Coil. The indicator will move to the right and the sound will get louder. The midpoint is the discrimination setting for nickel.
7.For easy reference:
For ferrous metals, the indicator will always move to the left and the sound will grow softer when the DISCRIMINATION dial is set to any location.
For silver, the indicator will move to the right and the sound will get louder when the DISCRIMINATION dial is set to any location.
When DISCRIMINATION is set to MIN, only ferrous metals will make the indicator move to the left. All other samples will make the indicator move to the right.
When DISCRIMINATION is set to MAX, only
Different metals have their own discrimination position. This is important to know, as all metals appear in the form of alloys and their composition can be complicated.
Use the above sample test as a general reference guide to help determine the composition of
a buried metal. By turning the DISCRIMINATION dial from MIN to MAX, you can determine the type of a buried item.
From MIN to MAX, the order of metals goes:
-Iron
-Nickel
-Gold
-Brass
-Zinc,
-Copper
-Silver (Aluminum)
NOTE: The discrimination position of aluminum is close to silver.
8.NOTE: When DISCRIMINATION is set to MIN, the Metal Detector does have greater sensitivity as compared to when it is set at MAX setting.
