prospecting modecoin & treasure mode
Coin & Treasure Mode is used for detecting valuable objects including
old and modern coins, jewellery and artefacts. Undesired objects such as
pull-tabs and bottle caps may be rejected. This mode can be used in a
variety of environments such as parks and salt water beaches.
The numerals (Target ID) and the segmented scale (Pattern
Discrimination Scale) are used to identify particular metal objects
in the ground.
Depth
The depth arrows
indicate the relative
depth of a target from
the coil.
Nonferrous coin
Target ID
Metal objects are
called targets.
The Target ID is the
numeric indication
of a particular metal
object.
Pattern Discrimination Scale
Every detected target is represented as a
segment on the Pattern Discrimination Scale.
By turning individual segments on/o, you are
rejecting or accepting target signals. A ashing
icon indicates a particular metal detection.
Iron Mask (IM) Level
The numeric
indication of the Iron
Mask Level (not as the
identier of particular
targets as it is in Coin
& Treasure Mode).
Iron Mask Discrimination Scale
The visual indication of the Iron Mask
Discrimination Scale. By increasing the Iron
Mask Level you are rejecting more iron signals.
The Iron Mask range is 0-20 and uses only the
rst 20 segments of the Discrimination Scale.
Prospecting Mode is used to nd metal such as gold nuggets and relics
in highly mineralised, ‘dicult’ areas.
Targets are identied by audio only. The number on the display is not
related to the target; instead, it shows the Iron Mask value, as does the
Discrimination Scale. In this mode the detector becomes more sensitive
to small target signals.
The numerals (Iron Mask Level) and the segmented scale (Iron Mask
Discrimination Scale) are used to identify the amount of iron signals
being rejected by the detector.
A metal object in Coin & Treasure
Mode is identied by a single ‘beep’
tone (Target Tones, p. 38).
A metal object in Prospecting Mode
is identied by an abrupt change in
pitch and volume of the Threshold
tone (Threshold Tone, p. 38).
Gold nuggets
The depth arrows
only operate in Coin
& Treasure Mode.
When using Prospecting Mode,
Double D coils will often improve
performance and ground balancing in
heavily mineralised areas.
