TARGET ID
TARGET ID is the number produced by the metal
detector based on the conductivity of the metals and
gives an idea to the user about what the target may be.
Target ID is shown with two digits on the display and
ranges between 01-99.

NOTE: Keep in mind, large targets will ID higher
than expected, even though they may be of lower
conductance.
In some cases, the device may produce multiple IDs for
the same target. In other words, the IDs may be jumpy.
This may result from several factors. Target orientation,
depth, purity of the metal, corrosion, mineralization level
of the soil etc. Even the direction of the search coil
swing may cause the device to generate multiple IDs.
In some cases, the device may fail to provide any ID.
The device needs to receive a strong and a clear signal
from the target in order to provide an ID. Therefore, it
may not be able to provide an ID for targets at fringe
depths or smaller targets even if the device detects
them.
Keep in mind that target IDs are “probable”, in other
words, estimated values and it would not be possible
to know the properties of a buried object exactly until
it is dug out.
IDs of non-ferrous metals such as copper, silver,
aluminum and lead are high. Target ID range of gold
is wide and may fall within the same range of metal
wastes such as iron, foil, screw caps, and pull tabs.
Therefore, if you are looking for gold targets, digging
out some trash metals is expected.
Coins searched throughout the world are made of
different metals and in different sizes in different
geographical locations and historical eras. Therefore, in
order to learn the Target IDs of the coins in a specific
zone, it is suggested to perform a test with the samples
of such coins, if possible.
It may take some time and experience to make best
use of the Target ID feature in your search area.
Different brands and models of detectors produce
different target ID numbers. The numbers vary even
more depending on target depth, ground mineralization,
and adjacent metals. But after some practice, you will
quickly become comfortable with the meanings of the
SIMPLEX’s Target IDs.
