sounds
A trowel, knife or small spade are good
tools for recovering targets.
Once a target has been located, clear the
surface of loose material and check again for
a signal. If there is no signal then the target
is amongst the surface material. In this case,
search the surface material until the target is
located. If the target is still in the ground, check
again with Pinpoint.
When digging, the aim is to leave the area of
ground exactly as you found it. Using a sharp
tool, cut a neat portion of grass or soil and
place it on a plastic sheet. This prevents the
material being scattered around and allows the
hole to be relled quickly.
Check the hole for the target. If it is not in
the hole, place the detector on the ground
with the coil at, pick up a handful of soil and
pass it over the coil. Be sure not to wear rings,
bracelets or a watch which will produce a
signal. Repeat this procedure until the target is
located.
Ensure that no other targets remain, then rell
the hole. All soil and portions of grass on the
plastic sheet should be returned to the hole
as neatly as possible. Step lightly on the soil to
compact it.
Leaving holes, or a scarred area, may result in
action being taken to prevent the use of metal
detectors. Please ensure that an area of ground
is left as you found it. Remove all rubbish.
Ask for permission before searching on
private property.

recovering the target
Threshold
This is the background ‘buzz’ given by the
detector to help distinguish between accepted
and rejected targets.
Blanking
When a rejected target is detected, the
Threshold sound ‘blanks’ (becomes silent) to
indicate that a rejected target is underneath
the coil.
Target Response
This is the sound given by the detector when a
target is located and not rejected.
In Coin & Treasure Mode, a target that is highly
conductive (e.g. a large silver coin) generally
causes a high tone beep and ferrous targets
generally cause a low tone beep.
In Prospecting Mode, a target signal will cause
an abrupt change in the pitch and volume of
the Threshold tone.
Pinpoint Response
When in Pinpoint, the detector emits a variable
tone, that increases in tone and volume as the
coil gets closer to the target.
Noise
A random, jittery sound indicates that the
detector is picking up external interference.
Sensitivity or Noise Cancel should be adjusted.
False Signals
Ground mineralisation can cause sounds
that can be mistaken for target signals. False
detections can be partial, random beeps (Coin
& Treasure Mode) or a continuous ‘warbling’
sound that diers from the sharper sound of a
real target signal (Prospecting Mode).
Start Up Sequence
When the detector is turned on there is a short
three note tune during its start-up sequence.
Positive Acknowledgement
The detector emits a short beep for
every valid key press.
Negative Acknowledgement
The detector emits a low double beep
to indicate an invalid keypress.
Completed
A three note tune indicates the completion
of a function (e.g. Auto Noise Cancel channel
calibration).
Patterns Erased / Factory Preset
A six note tune will announce when
these settings are complete.
Error
A six note tune will sound to indicate
a detector error (Error Messages, p. 49).
Overload
If the coil is passed across a large shallow
target or very highly mineralised ground, the
detector might give a repeating buzzing sound.
This indicates that the target signal is too
strong for the detector to interpret.
Low Battery Signal
When the battery power becomes low,
there will be a short announcement tune
(descending tones) every 60 seconds.
Low Battery Shutdown
A long announcement tune (descending tones)
will sound just before the detector shuts down.
