TERMS TO KNOW
The terms below are standard words found within this manual and
the detector.
DISCRIMINATION
Discriminating allows you to choose the metals you want to detect and
the ones you want to“eliminate”or not look for. Discrimination makes it
easier to avoid trash or other undesirable objects. Once it detects a
metal it will categorize it to one of the metals you chose to detect for.
IRON
Iron is the most common metal used. It has been used since ancient
times because of how abundant it is. Ferrous metals are made up of
iron. Objects that are ferrous metals are; nails, bolts, stainless steel and
cast iron.
PINPOINT
A narrow detection that tells you the exact location of the object that
is buried.
PULL-TABS
Also known as “pop tops.” Discarded pull-tabs come from beverage
cans. They can be all dierent shapes and sizes.They are primarily made
of aluminum, which can be bothersome to many treasure hunters.
GROUND GRAB
All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals interfere
with the signals from metal objects. If metal is detected in this
mode it will make a sound. It doesn’t detect any of earth’s natural
minerals so you can get a more accurate reading on what you nd.

ASSEMBLY
Then, thread the wire through the top rod.
Now, connect the rods by sliding the
bottom rod into the top rod where the lock
bracket is located. When they are
connected at the desired length, pull
down the lock bracket latch to lock them
into place.
After the wire is snapped into place, insert
the rod of the coil unit into the handle unit.
Once inserted, pull up the latch to lock into
place. Make sure everything is secured
into place before use.

Assembling the coil unit
Remove the plastic bolts on the top of the
coil. Fit the bottom rod inside the bracket
on the coil. Insert the plastic bolts into the
bracket and through the bottom rod. Then
tighten but do not over tighten.
Thread the wire connected to the coil
through the bottom rod.
Assembling the handle unit
Take the male end of the threaded wire
from the coil unit and plug it into the
female plug on the handle unit. Be careful
to align the white indicator arrow on the
male end of the wire with the alignment
arrow or the bottom of the handle unit to
ensure proper connection.

METALS DIAGRAM
* Silver and Gold can be in multiple spectrums
The Category Value accurately provides specic categories to help
identify a buried object. Coins will most likely have a similar value
with each pass with the coil due to their round shape. Gold and
silver can actually be detected in various category values due to
their metallic qualities. Smaller gold or silver objects will have a
dierent value than larger gold or silver objects. Trash objects can
give o a dierent value each time you pass over it. The angle of the
detector can aect the identication of an object as well. If you
decide to test the detector by waving a coin over the coil, wave it
with the at side parallel to the coil; this position is how you will nd
most buried coins.

DETECTOR MODES
GPS
The GPS mode allows you to save certain locations that you are wanting to
return to later. The farthest it will read you from your saved location is 999
yds. The closer you get to the saved spot the lower the number will go, 000
yds means you’ve reached your spot.
Notch Modes
When in Notch there are three options:
All Metals: Use this mode if you are looking for a wide range of objects. It
is designed to nd all metal objects.
Coin: When using this mode it will show you the metals found in coins. It
is designed to nd all types of coins and eliminate trash objects such as
iron and foil.
Jewelry: When in this mode it will show you the metals common in
jewelry. It is designed to nd jewelry such as rings, bracelets, watches and
necklaces.
Custom: Use this mode if you want to choose the specic metals to
search for . It is designed for you to nd certain metal objects that you
programmed it to.
When an object is detected it will highlight the name of the metal found as
well as use a tone that identies the metal.
Ground Grab
All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals interfere with the
signals from metal objects. All soils dier, and can dier greatly, in the type and
amount of ground minerals present. This detector incorporates ground balanc-
ing algorithms which eliminate interference caused by the ground minerals
found in most soils. We therefore recommend that you use GROUND GRAB to
most accurately calibrate the detector to the specic ground conditions where
you are hunting.
This process will maximize the detector's target identication accuracy and
depth detection capability.
Discrimination
Pick the discrimination mode you want to detect in. Keep the coil parallel to the
ground moving it from left to right with a stable speed. Out of the metals
highlighted it will categorize the metal detected so you are aware of what metal
is buried. It will inform you in two ways; 1. by highlighting the metal detected
and 2. a tone response.
Discrimination identication accuracy can be inuenced by moisture and
temperature. The coil sweeping speed can also aect discrimination, generally
faster sweeping motion has a higher sensitivity.
Pinpointing
Pinpoint does a narrow search that will give you the exact location of a
buried object. It will identify an object by a signal and tone response. Press
and hold down the “PP” button to activate the pinpoint function. Once
activated, sweep the coil over the target area in an“X”pattern. Make a visual
note of the place on the ground where the strongest signal is identied.
Then dig in the center of the“X.” To deactivate the pinpoint function, simply
release the “PP” button. The metal detector will automatically default back
into discrimination mode.
The Steps is as follows:
1. Find a patch of ground which is free of metal. Use the DISCRIMINATION mode, with no targets discrimi-
nated out.
2. Enter into GG mode of operation, LCD shows 'Start'
3. Hold the detector with the search coil a foot or two above the ground.
4. Press center button to active ground grab process, LCD shows 'GRABING'.
5. With 'Grabing' showing on lcd display, Lower the searchcoil down to within 2 inches of the ground.
6. After successfully ground balancing, It shows 'GRAB OK', and quit to detecting mode automatically.
If 'GRAB ER' appears, maybe the ground is too dirty with metal trash or just wet salt soil. Find another
clean place ground grab again till it is grab ok.
Ground grab results is crucial to the performance of PP mode.
