SEARCH TECHNIQUES
(in DISC Mode)
Target Verification
After detecting a target, do the
following:
1. Walk around the target in a
circle.
2. While circling the target,
continue sweeping the
searchcoil across the target.
3. Sweep once every 30° or 40° of
the circle.
If the tone does not change
and the Target-ID value is
consistent as you circle the
target, you can be highly
confident of the target’s
identification.
If the tone or Target-ID
changes as you circle the
target, you may have multiple
targets or an irregularly shaped
object.
If the tone completely
disappears at different angles, the target may be trash or a low-
value metal.
If you are new to the hobby, dig all targets. With practice in the
field, you will soon identify audible and visual target feedback with
certain types of metal objects.
Pinpointing process in motion modes:
1. Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side pattern.
2. Take visual note of spot on ground where “beep” occurs.
3. Step 90° to the side of the target.
4. Sweep coil over same area, at 90° to 1st sweep pattern.
5. This pinpoints the target location with an “X”.
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with
the ground about 1/2 inch
from the surface. Never swing
the coil like a pendulum.
WRONG
CORRECT
ASSEMBLY
Adjusting the Armrest
The armrest may be moved
forward or backwards by removing
the single screw and nut, and then
repositioning the 2-piece armrest.
Users with shorter arms may find
the armrest more comfortable in
the forward position. In order to
move the armrest backwards, the
plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.
Armrest Strap
(Optional accessory)
The strap is available for purchase
as a separate accessory. Some
users prefer to use the strap when
swing the detector vigorously, in
order to hold the detector secure
against the arm.
The detector can also be used
without the strap, with no
compromise to detector balance
and stability under most conditions.
