Summary

Introduction to the G2+

G2+ Metal Detector Overview

An overview of the G2+ detector's capabilities for relic hunting and gold prospecting.

Detector Terminology

Discrimination Definition

Discrimination is when the detector emits different tones for different metals, ignoring some.

Ground Balancing Definition

Ground Balancing cancels mineral signals to improve target detection and accuracy.

Metal Detector Assembly

Adjusting the Armrest

The armrest can be moved forward or backward for user comfort.

Using the Armrest Strap

The armrest strap can be used for added security when swinging vigorously.

Battery Information

Battery Type and Usage

Use 9-volt alkaline batteries; avoid zinc carbon and "Heavy Duty" types.

Battery Life Expectancy

Expect 15-20 hours from alkaline batteries; rechargeable batteries offer up to 8 hours.

Quick-Start Demonstration

Detector Positioning for Demo

Place the detector on a table or have it held off the ground, away from interference.

Using Headphones with the Detector

Headphones enhance sound clarity, extend battery life, and reduce bystander disturbance.

Basics of Metal Detecting

Understanding Ground Minerals

Ground minerals can interfere with metal signals; calibration is needed.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

EMI can cause chatter or loss of sensitivity; reduce Gain/Threshold to cope.

Operation and Controls

Using the Detector Controls

Learn how the GAIN, THRESHOLD, MODE, and MENU controls function.

Control Panel Features

Control Knobs Functionality

Explains the OFF/ON/GAIN knob and the DISC/ALL METAL/THRESHOLD knob.

Touchpad Controls

Explains the MENU/GG, +/- buttons, and the PINPOINT button.

Operating in All Metal Mode

Ground Grab® Auto Ground Balancing

Perform automatic ground balancing by pumping the searchcoil while holding the GG button.

Reading the Display in All Metal Mode

Learn about the Fe3O4 scale, GND PHASE, GND BAL, and Target Scale.

Operating in Discrimination Mode

Setting Controls in Discrimination Mode

Adjust GAIN for sensitivity; the MODE knob selects Discrimination or All Metal.

V-Break Feature Explanation

V-Break allows programming low tones for specific Target-IDs.

Using the Pinpoint Feature

Pinpoint helps locate buried objects precisely without motion.

Ground Balancing Procedure

How to Ground Balance Your Detector

Detailed steps for performing automatic ground balancing using the GG touchpad.

Understanding Positive and Negative Response

Explains positive (too high GB) and negative (too low GB) responses to ground minerals.

Target Display and Audio Feedback

Understanding Audio Feedback

Explains V.C.O. and LOW tone beep responses for target identification.

Target Readout Table

Lists common metal objects and their typical Target-ID values.

Specialized Hunting Guides

Gold Prospecting Locations and Techniques

Hillsides are good areas; requires high sensitivity and true ground balance.

Relic Hunting Capabilities

G2+ offers good ground balancing, target separation, and an expanded iron ID range.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)

Coping with EMI

Reduce sensitivity (Gain/Threshold) to eliminate EMI response.

Distinguishing EMI from Detector Problems

EMI varies with location and orientation; detector problems are usually consistent.

Search Techniques

Target Verification

Circle the target and check for consistent tone and Target-ID.

Pinpointing in Discrimination Mode

Use side-to-side and 90° sweeps to pinpoint target location with an "X".

Target Pinpointing

Pinpointing Procedure

Position coil, move slowly, locate sound's loudest point.

Device Specifications

Operating Specifications

Includes operating frequency, principle, and temperature range.

Treasure Hunter's Code of Ethics

Ethical guidelines for responsible treasure hunting and property respect.

5-Year Limited Warranty

Returning for Service
