The DISCRIMINATION setting determines whether the detector will distinguish be- tween different types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

You can set DISCRIMINATION to the minimum level (fully counterclockwise) or to the maximum level (fully clockwise) or anywhere in between. As you set it to higher levels, the detector first does not detect small pieces of silver paper, then thick foil, and finally metal objects like pull tabs from soda cans (see Figure 15).

Note: As you move to a new area, you must adjust DISCRIMINATION.

As you sweep the search coil back and forth over the ground surface you will recognize the difference between signals that occur at random and signals that are stable and repeatable. The key is to dig only for those targets

Figure 15that produce a strong, repeatable signal. This will prevent you from wasting time focusing on trash induced signals.

No metal detector is totally accurate. Many conditions influence the success of metal detection. Among the factors that influence results are the angle at which the object rests in the ground, the depth of object, the amount of iron the object contains and the size of the object.

To accurately pinpoint a target: 1. Once the detector detects a target that is buried, continue to sweep the search coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion. 2. Stop the search coil directly over the spot on the ground. Then move the search coil straight forward away from you and straight back towards you. Make a mental note of the exact spot on the surface where the detector beeps. Repeat these steps in an X pattern. The target should be directly below the X at the area where the loudest response is heard.

Troubleshooting:

 

Problem

Suggestion for Cure

False signals are being displayed

Sweeping too fast or at the wrong angle.

 

Heavily oxidized metals are detected.

 

Pinpoint the target from several different

 

angles. If the detector does not display and

 

sound the same signal each time, the target

 

is probabley heavily oxidized metal.

Once a target is found, the display does not show the correct metal type

May be more than one target in the area. If target is heavily oxidized, an incorrect reading may occur. This does not signify a problem with the detector. It may be a type of metal which is not recognizable to the detector.
