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.
