Adjusting Length
Loosen the tube clamping nut 1/4 turn
Extend tube assembly
1. Grasp the top tube with one hand.
2. Grasp the search coil with the other hand.
3. Pull two sections apart to slide the bottom tube out of the top
tube.
Establish Tube Length
1. Pivot the search coil perpendicular to the tube.
2. Place detector in user’s hand, with arm extended.
3. Adjust tube length so that search coil rests on
the ground, close to the user’s feet.
4. Align the coil to the detector body.
5. Tighten the tube clamping nut, while
holding the search coil in place on
the ground to prevent twisting of
the tube assembly while tightening.

Operation in the Field
Sweep the search coil from side to side, in slow, overlapping motions.
Keep the search coil parallel to the ground.
Keep search coil 1/2” off the ground and try not to make contact with the ground.
Try not to lift the search coil at the end of your
sweeps. This may be difficult for younger
children, but the closer the search coil is to the
ground throughout the sweep, the more likely
you are to find buried metal objects.
Keep the left knob in the maximum sensitivity
setting possible.
Click the right knob on and start searching with
it in the fully counterclockwise position.
You may want to move the right knob during your search, depending on what
you find. For instance, if you start searching with the right knob to the left(but
not in battery test mode), you will detect all types of metal objects. If you find
that you are in a trashy area, and wish to eliminate unwanted objects from
detection, sweep the search coil over an undesirable object while turning the
knob. Find the knob setting at which certain types of metals are eliminated, and
adjust your settings accordingly.
CAUTION: Gold rings can be eliminated from detection along with pull-tabs.
Be aware that some desirable objects, like nickels and gold, are
eliminated from detection in the middle of the range. Gold rings have a
metallic signature similar to pull-tabs; nickels have a metallic signature
similar to some newer pull tabs. It requires practice and patience to
understand what types of objects are eliminated at each setting.
CORRECT
WRONG
The coil should be
swung in a half- cir-
cle movement as
illustrated here.
Repeat this motion
every step you take
to guarantee that the
area is being covered
thoroughly.
