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 display a Target-ID, when a metal object passes through

the searchcoil’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.

RELIC

A 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.

V.C.O.

Meaning “voltage controlled oscillator,” the V.C.O. audio method causes

both the audio pitch and the volume to rise as signal strength increases.

V.C.O. improves the user’s ability to interpret a target’s size and depth.

Very weak signals (for small or very deeply buried objects) have the

faintest volume and the lowest pitch. Larger objects, and those closer to

the searchcoil, will induce a higher volume and higher pitch sound.

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. This detector incorporates proprietary circuitry to

eliminate false signals from severe ground conditions.

IRON IDENTIFICATION

Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination

The Eurotek®allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but classifies

them by size and signal strength. Ferrous objects will have a Target-ID between

1 and 39.

To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39.

OTHER FEATURES

PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing”

the target area.

●

Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue

sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern.

●

Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep” occurs

as you move the coil slowly from side to side.

●

Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.

●

Now move the coil straight forward and straight back towards you a

couple of times.

●

Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the “beep”

occurs.

●

If needed, “X” the target at different angles to “zero in” on the exact

spot on the ground at which the “beep” occurs.

REMEMBER:

The detector will beep just as the center of the searchcoil

passes directly over the buried object.

If you have difficulty pinpointing very strong signals, try lifting the coil

higher off the ground until a weaker, but more concise, signal is heard.

For very weak signals, try moving the coil in short quick sweeps, closer to

the ground.

Consider Purchasing a Pinpointer

When you kneel down to unearth an object, you may find it frustrating as the

object can appear exactly like the surrounding soil. You may hold the object

in your hand, and find it necessary to pass a handful of dirt over the searchcoil

to see if it contains metal. An easier way is to use a handheld pinpointer. It is

a probe-like device which is poked into the ground, making close up

pinpointing a snap, reducing digging time, and minimizing the size of the holes

you will dig. Teknetics®offers a robust and inexpensive pinpointer designed

for this purpose.

In Discrimination Mode, each time an object is detected, a Bar Graph

illuminates in addition to the Target-ID.

The Bar Graph is a graphic representation of the distance from the searchcoil,

and is calibrated to a coin-sized object.

• More bars indicate a deeper object.

• Fewer bars indicate a shallower object.

The scale for coin-sized objects, with sensitivity at maximum, is:

Target-ID Coin Reference. Below are known Target-IDs for some reference coins:

* 3 Bars: If the object is a coin, it is more deeply buried.

…or this could be the faint signal from a large, but very deeply buried,

object.

** 1 Bar: If the object is a coin, it is shallow.

…or this could be a large object deeply buried.

The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included).

Do not use ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries.

Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries.

Rechargeable batteries can also be used.

If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a

Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery.

The battery compartment is located on the

back side of the housing.

Slide the battery door to the side and remove

it to expose the battery compartment.

For easy battery removal, push down firmly

on the bottom of the battery (see illustration).

BATTERY LIFE

Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a 9-volt

alkaline battery.

Rechargeable batteries provide about 8

hours of usage per charge.

BATTERY INDICATOR

The battery icon on the right of the display has three vertical segments and an

outline segment.

The amount of battery voltage for anALKALINE battery is indicated as follows:

3 vertical segments illuminated: 8.1 volts or more

2 vertical segments illuminated: 7.1 to 8.0 volts

1 vertical segment illuminated: 6.5 to 7.0 volts

No vertical segments illuminated: 6.2 to 6.4 volts

Outline Flashing: 6.1 volts or less

SPEAKER VOLUME AND BATTERY CHARGE

You may notice the speaker volume drop while one battery segment is illuminated.

With the outline flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.

BATTERIES

Optional Arm Strap

Armrest Strap (optional accessory)

The strap is available for purchase as a separate

accessory. Some users prefer to use the strap

when swinging 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. Item # 2021112000

DEPTH INDICATOR

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION

I. Supplies Needed

• a Nail • a Gold Ring (try several different size gold rings) • a Large Silver Coin

II. Position the Detector

a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge.

Or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the searchcoil off the ground.

b. Keep the searchcoil away from walls, floors and metal objects.

c. Remove watches, rings and jewelry.

d. Turn off lights or appliances, whose electromagnetic

emissions may cause interference.

e. Pivot the searchcoil back.

III. Power Up

Press .

IV. Wave each object over the searchcoil

a. Notice the tones and Target-IDs for each object (assumes default DISC

setting):

OBJECT TARGET-ID TONE

Nail lower (e.g. 10-35) V.C.O.

Gold Ring medium (e.g.- Mid 50’s) V.C.O.

Larger Gold Ring medium (but higher than ID for smaller gold ring) V.C.O.

Silver Coin higher (e.g.- 80-99) High

b. Motion is required.

• Objects must be in motion over the searchcoil to be detected.

•

Sweep objects flat over the searchcoil, parallel to the plane of the searchcoil.

Press twice to activate the DISC selection

a. While sweeping the Nail back-and-forth, press to

increase the DISC setting.

b. Continue to press and increase the DISC setting.

•

Notice that the Nail is eliminated from detection

when the DISC setting is

equal to the target's ID.

Caution: Passing the nail at differing angles will yield different ID numbers.

VI. Repeat Step V while waiving the Gold Ring, and then also

while waiving the Silver Coin

IN-THE-FIELD TECHNIQUES

STANCE

Stand with your arm extended in front of your body. Don’t bend or stoop;

stand in a comfortable position. Hold the unit so that the searchcoil is

about 3cm above the ground. Adjust the searchcoil so that it is parallel

to the ground.

SWEEP

Standing in the search position, swing the searchcoil gently from side to

side, slightly overlapping each sweep as you move forward. Keep your

searchcoil approximately 3cm above the ground as you search. Raising it

during the sweep, or at the ends of your sweep, can cause false readings.

Move slowly; hurrying will cause you to miss targets.

Most desirable objects will respond with a repeatable tone. When

discriminating, iron and foil objects are generally eliminated from detection.

False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference or by

large irregular trash objects. These signals are easily recognized by their

often broken or non-repeatable nature.

THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING

This metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When

searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following

challenges and objectives:

1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals.

2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like

nails.

3. Identifying a buried metal object before you dig it up.

4. Estimating the size and depth of objects, to facilitate digging them up.

5. Eliminating the effects of electromagnetic interference from other

electronic devices.

Your metal detector is designed with these things in mind.

1. Ground Minerals

All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals can interfere with

the signals from metal objects you want to find. All soils differ, and can differ

greatly, in the type and amount of ground minerals present. The Eurotek®

has a preset ground elimination setting. No user adjustments are required.

2. Trash

If searching for coins, you want to ignore items like aluminum foil and nails.

You can see the Target-ID value of the buried objects, listen to the sounds,

and then decide what you want to dig up. Or you can eliminate unwanted

metals from detection by using the DISCRIMINATION feature.

3. Identifying Buried Objects

Metal objects are identified by a 2-digit number on the display screen.This scale

has 99 points of resolution, and is an indicator of the relative electrical

conductivity of different objects. Higher numbers indicate more conductive

targets. Iron objects, which are usually of lesser value, display lower numbers.

Silver coins, for instance, usually display the highest numbers.

4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects

The 3-digit bar graph indicates the relative depth of a buried metal object. This

bar graph can indicate the relative size of different objects or their distance

from the searchcoil. For a given object, the more distance between it and the

searchcoil, the more bars illuminated.

Target Detection

Sweep the detector back-and-forth over the

ground.

Keep the searchcoil parallel to the ground as

you sweep; do not lift the searchcoil at the

ends of your sweeps.

Searchcoil motion is required for target

detection.

Target-ID

When objects are detected, the detector will emit a sound and a 2-digit Target-

ID will appear on the screen. Possible Target-IDs range from 1 to 99. This

number represents the electrical conductivity of the target detected; higher

numbers indicate more highly conductive targets.

The 2-digit number indicates the Target-ID of the last object detected. The

Eurotek®has a very fast target response and is able to detect different objects

in very close proximity. Therefore, the Target-ID displayed may change rapidly

as you sweep the searchcoil.

Three seconds after the last Target-ID is displayed, the Target-ID will time-out

and the number will disappear.

CORRECT

WRONG

DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM

As a general reference, targets fall into the following ranges:

1 - 39 : iron

42 - 48 : foil and small gold nuggets

54 - 57 : gold nuggets, gold rings or targets containing mostly gold

87 - 89 : clad coins or coins of recent vintage

82 - 83 : copper coins

93 - 99 : larger silver coins

Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be identified

for certain until unearthed. This table is for general reference only.

See the table on P. 15 for a more complete listing of Target-ID values for

common metal items.

The Target-ID system and the Audio-ID systems on the Eurotek operate

independently. Therefore, there may be times when the tones and IDs seem

inconsistent. For example, a very deeply buried target may induce a low tone,

but the signal may be too weak for the visual ID system to determine, with

confidence, a reliable Target-ID number. In this case, the detector may not

2-Tone System

Depending on the type of metal detected, and the DISC setting of the detector,

a buried metal object will induce one of the following audio responses:

No sound: metals eliminated from detection (or discriminated-out), with

the DISC function.

V.C.O. (variable pitch and volume): targets with an ID less than 80.

High Tone: all targets with an ID of 80 or greater.

5. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)

The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that

magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field

that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy

produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers,

power lines, microwave ovens, lighting fixtures, TVs, computers, motors,

etc… all produce EMI which can interfere with the detector and cause it to

beep when no metal is present, and sometimes to beep erratically.

The SENSITIVITY control lets you reduce the strength of this magnetic field,

and therefore lessen its susceptibility to EMI. You may want to operate at

maximum strength, but the presence of EMI may make this impossible, so if

you experience erratic behavior or “false” signals, reduce the sensitivity.

HEADPHONE JACK

This detector has a 1/4” headphone

jack.

It works with any stereo headphone

that has a 1/4” plug.

When the headphone jack is

connected, speaker volume is

disabled.

USING

HEADPHONES

Using a detector with headphones

facilitates detection of the weakest

signals and also extends the battery

life.

It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly, particularly

if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use headphones

near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is to be used with

interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.

THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING

HOW DEEP WILL IT GO?

The Eurotek®Metal Detector will detect a coin-sized object to a distance of

about 20 cm (8”) from the searchcoil at maximum sensitivity. Large metal

objects can be detected to a depth of more than a meter. Detectability is directly

related to the size of the metal object -- the larger the object, the deeper it can

be detected.

Accuracy of target identification is also related to distance from the searchcoil.

Targets on the fringe of detection will have less accurate Target-IDs than targets

closer to the searchcoil.

2. DISC (Discrimination)

The DISC control allows the user to eliminate a range of targets from detection.

The user selects a 2-digit number; targets less than or equal to this setting will

not be detected.

Be aware that some irregular targets, and targets on the fringe of the detectable

range, may induce different Target-ID numbers on subsequent passes.As such,

it may be possible that a target intended for elimination may not always be

eliminated.

With each press of or , the DISC setting changes by one.

OPERATION and CONTROLS

HOW TO WORK THE CONTROLS

Press or buttons to CHANGE THE SETTING

of the active menu item. The active menu item is

the highlighted line on the top of the display.

Press MENU button to select the

menu item you want to adjust.

POWER

ON/OFF

POWERING UP

Press

The detector powers on.

A “ ” appears momentarily, indicating that the detector is in the

Discrimination Mode of operation.

All targets are detected. Motion is required.

Default sensitivity is 7, on scale of 1 to 10.

Default discrimination is 0, on scale of 0 to 79.

Operational Overview

Press to activate the menu system: SENS or DISC.

At first activation of the menu system, the SENS menu selection appears.

Successive presses of will toggle to DISC and then back.

With a menu selection visible, press or to change settings for that

menu selection.

When you reach the desired setting, as indicated by the 2-digit value on the

display, no further action is necessary.

• 4 seconds after the last or key-press, the menu icon will time-

out and the last displayed setting will be programmed in.

• Or press again before the display times out, and advance to the next

menu selection; the last displayed setting will be programmed in.

During operation, recall the last menu selection by pressing MENU at any

time; the last menu selection adjusted will again be displayed.

While the MENU display is active, the LCD display will not respond to targets, but

the audio target system will continue to respond to any target or overload signal.

1. SENS (Sensitivity)

Press to illuminate the SENS menu icon.

Use and to increase or decrease sensitivity while SENS is highlighted.

Maximum sensitivity setting is 10.

Minimum sensitivity setting is 1.

If the detector beeps erratically or beeps when there are no metal objects

being detected, reduce the sensitivity.

The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that

magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field

that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy

produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers, power

lines, microwave ovens, lighting fixtures, TVs, computers, motors, etc…. all

produce EMI which can interfere with the detector and cause it to beep when

no metal is present, and sometimes to beep erratically.
