OWNER’S MANUAL

The

Discovery 1100 is

an easy to use detector.

The most difficult aspects of

metal detecting have been automated.

However, if you are new to the hobby,

we strongly recommend that you:

1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting

in the event of false signals. Always begin

use at a reduced sensitivity level; increase to full

sensitivity after you have become familiar with the

detector.

2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many

household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can

interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,

turn the sensitivity down and keep the searchcoil away from

appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.

If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights

(especially those with dimmer switches).

Also keep the searchcoil away from objects containing metal, such

as floors and walls.

3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo

(p.7) and Basic Operation (pp. 9-12).

4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty

Batteries.

TERMINOLOGY

The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard

terminology among detectorists.

ELIMINATION

Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will

not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object

passes through the coil’s detection field.

DISCRIMINATION

When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals,

and when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this

as the detector "discriminating" among different types of metals.

Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal

detectors. Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and

otherwise undesirable objects.

RELICA relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association

with the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made

of bronze or precious metals.

IRON Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in

certain metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron

objects are old cans, pipes, bolts, and nails.

Sometimes, the desired target is made of iron. Property markers,

for instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of

iron; cannon balls, old armaments, and parts of old structures and

vehicles can also be composed of iron.

FERROUS

Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.

PINPOINTING

Pinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried

object. Long-buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding

soil, and can therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil.

PULL-TABS

Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most

bothersome trash items for treasure hunters. They come in many

different shapes and sizes. Most pull-tabs can be eliminated with

the Mode Control, but some other valuable objects can have a

magnetic signature similar to pull-tabs, and will also be eliminated

when discriminating out pull-tabs.

GROUND BALANCE

Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see

through," the earth’s naturally occurring minerals, and only sound

a tone when a metal object is detected.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is easy and requires no tools.

●

1Position the lower stem (the straight

tube) with the silver button toward the

back.

Using the bolt and knurled knob,

attach the searchcoil to the

plastic extension

protruding from the

lower stem.

●

2Press the button

on the upper end

of the lower stem,

and slide the lower

stem into the upper

stem.

Adjust the stem to a length

that lets you maintain a

comfortable upright

posture, with your arm relaxed at your side, and the

searchcoil parallel to the ground in front of you.

●

3Wind the cable securely around the stem.

●

4Insert the plug into the

matching connector on

the right underside of the

detector body. Be sure

that the key-way and

pins line up correctly.

Caution: Do not force the

plug in. Excess

force will cause

damage.

To disconnect the

cable, pull on the

plug.

Do not pull

on the cable.

Adjusting the Armrest

Most people will find the standard

position of the armrest very comfortable.

Very large forearms and short forearms

(particularly children’s arms), can be

accommodated by moving the armrest

forward.

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.

Use ALKALINE

batteries only.

To install the

batteries:

●

1Remove the

battery cover by

disengaging the

clip at the back.

●

2Align the polarity

of the batteries

correctly, with

the positive "+"

toward the coil

plug connection,

as indicated by

the + and –

indicators on the

housing.

●

3Insert (2) 9-Volt ALKALINE batteries, with the contacts pointed inward,

and press down on the back of the batteries to snap them into place.

Some brands of batteries will require moderate force to clear the

retaining tabs.

●

4Replace the battery door.

The Low Battery Indicator will come on and stay on if the batteries need

to be replaced.

Most metal detector problems are due to improperly installed batteries,

or the use of non-alkaline or discharged batteries. If the detector does

not turn on, please check the batteries.

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION

BASIC OPERATION

POWERING UP

Press the ON touchpad.

All display indicators will illuminate momentarily.

The 4-segment pyramid-shaped Sensitivity Indicator will illuminate on

the left side of the display. The 4-segment pyramid indicates that the

detector is at full sensitivity.

When an object is detected, the object will be identified by a tone, a

display indicator, and a depth indication.

A two-minute “warm-up” is required before the detector reaches full

sensitivity.

UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY

The LEFT SIDE of the display has a dual purpose:

●

1SENSITIVITY LEVEL

Upon power-up, and after

pressing either the up- or

down-sensitivity pads, the

pyramid-shaped display

indicates the detector’s

sensitivity level.

The sensitivity level can be

changed using the up- and down-pads.

At maximum sensitivity, the unit can detect a coin-sized metal object

buried about 6" beneath the surface; larger objects can be detected

much deeper.

●

2DEPTH INDICATION

After detecting an object, the

pyramid-shaped display

indicates the approximate depth

of buried, coin-sized objects.

Objects at or near the surface

will illuminate the single

segment at the top of the

scale.

More deeply buried objects will illuminate more segments, indicating

depths of 2, 4, or 6 inches, as identified to the left of the display.

The depth indicator is not accurate for large, or irregularly shaped, objects.

However, the scale will provide relative depth indications for larger objects; a

given object will induce deeper readings the farther it is from the searchcoil.

BASIC OPERATION

The RIGHT SIDE of the display classifies objects into three categories.

Silver/Copper: ------------------------------------------

Objects composed of silver and

cooper will illuminate this arrow.

Buried and heavily oxidized metal

objects, such as old tin cans, can

also fall into this category. Larger

aluminum objects, like beverage

cans, will sometimes fall into this

category.

Mid-Range: ------------------------------------------------

Mid-range objects cover a large

variety of metals.

Among them are: pull-tabs from

beverage containers, nickels,

medium-sized gold objects, some

types of aluminum, and zinc.

Iron: -------------------------------------------------------------

All ferrous objects, and some

smaller aluminum objects, fall into

the iron category. Small gold

objects can also fall into this range.

The BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE of the

display will illuminate a Low Battery

Indicator symbol if the batteries are

discharged. The indicator illuminates,

and remains illuminated, when the

9-volt batteries have discharged to a

level of 7.35 volts.

Reading the Display IN THE FIELD

With the detector in use in the field, the display will indicate both the DEPTH

and the TARGET IDENTIFICATION of each object detected. After a target is

detected, these indicators will remain illuminated with this information until

the next target has been detected. If uncertain about the target’s

identification, try sweeping the coil at a faster speed. A more rapid sweep

over a target will generally provide a more accurate target identification.
