Factors That Affect The Detecting
It’s difficult to have an accurate detecting result. It needs practice to get
better detection results. Sometimes the detecting may be restricted by
some factors.
 If there are interferences from other instruments or electrical cable or TV or
radio in your searching area, lower the sensitivity or change your searching
area.
 When searching in highly mineralized areas, the unit will sound even if
there’s no metal. In this case, you can lower the sensitivity and increase the
height between the search coil and the ground until the false signal
disappears. If necessary, reset the DISC.
 When searching in trash area, it’s better to set the DISC to 11:00 position,
so that the unit can notch most of invaluable metals such as nails and other
small pieces of trash that have iron.
 Move away any metal digging tool when searching.
 Sensitivity level is generally in contradiction with that of the Discrimination.
The higher the sensitivity level is, the worse discrimination will be. But you
