An overview of the G2+ detector's capabilities for relic hunting and gold prospecting.
Discrimination is when the detector emits different tones for different metals, ignoring some.
Ground Balancing cancels mineral signals to improve target detection and accuracy.
The armrest can be moved forward or backward for user comfort.
The armrest strap can be used for added security when swinging vigorously.
Use 9-volt alkaline batteries; avoid zinc carbon and "Heavy Duty" types.
Expect 15-20 hours from alkaline batteries; rechargeable batteries offer up to 8 hours.
Place the detector on a table or have it held off the ground, away from interference.
Headphones enhance sound clarity, extend battery life, and reduce bystander disturbance.
Ground minerals can interfere with metal signals; calibration is needed.
EMI can cause chatter or loss of sensitivity; reduce Gain/Threshold to cope.
Learn how the GAIN, THRESHOLD, MODE, and MENU controls function.
Explains the OFF/ON/GAIN knob and the DISC/ALL METAL/THRESHOLD knob.
Explains the MENU/GG, +/- buttons, and the PINPOINT button.
Perform automatic ground balancing by pumping the searchcoil while holding the GG button.
Learn about the Fe3O4 scale, GND PHASE, GND BAL, and Target Scale.
Adjust GAIN for sensitivity; the MODE knob selects Discrimination or All Metal.
V-Break allows programming low tones for specific Target-IDs.
Pinpoint helps locate buried objects precisely without motion.
Detailed steps for performing automatic ground balancing using the GG touchpad.
Explains positive (too high GB) and negative (too low GB) responses to ground minerals.
Explains V.C.O. and LOW tone beep responses for target identification.
Lists common metal objects and their typical Target-ID values.
Hillsides are good areas; requires high sensitivity and true ground balance.
G2+ offers good ground balancing, target separation, and an expanded iron ID range.
Reduce sensitivity (Gain/Threshold) to eliminate EMI response.
EMI varies with location and orientation; detector problems are usually consistent.
Circle the target and check for consistent tone and Target-ID.
Use side-to-side and 90° sweeps to pinpoint target location with an "X".
Position coil, move slowly, locate sound's loudest point.
Includes operating frequency, principle, and temperature range.
Ethical guidelines for responsible treasure hunting and property respect.
