SILVER Range:
1 ¢ 10¢ 25¢ 50¢ - indicates that the
target is probably a penny, dime, quar-
ter, or half-dollar.
Bottom Display Ranges
An
arrow appears on the bottom dis-
play next to the currently set target
mode (see "Setting a Target Mode"
on
Page
9).
TONES
If the detector is set to the ALL METAL
target mode, it sounds a single tone
when it detects any type of metal.
If you set the detector to the DISC or
AUTO NOTCH target modes (see
"Setting a Target Mode"
on
Page 9),
its built-in audio target identification
(ATI) system automatically sounds a
unique audio tone for each of three
categories of metal. This makes it eas-
ier to identify the type of metal being
detected.
The detector sounds a low tone when
it detects small gold and nickels, a me-
dium tone when it detects most pull
tabs and some gold and zinc, and a
high tone when
it
detects copper, sil-
ver, and brass.

Brass
The detector will not detect most
iron and steel objects when set to
the DISC or AUTO NOTCH target
modes. However, the detector
might sound a tone and show an
indication on the display if
an
iron
object is highly oxidized. For
example, the detector might sound
a high tone and display an indica-
tion
in
the SILVER range if it
detects a rusted bottle cap.
Depending
on
the alloys used to
make them, about 15 percent of
gold rings cause the detector to
sound a medium tone instead of a
low tone when it detects them. If
this happens, the detector still dis-
plays an indication in the GOLD
range on the display.
If
a pull tab is broken in half, the
"beaver tail" part of the tab causes
the detector to sound a low tone.
The detector also might sound a
low tone if a pull tab is bent,
folded, or highly oxidized.
