Chapter 3 M6 Quick Start M6 Quick Start Tone I.D. 2 Search P/PAll Metal DISC establishes the level of trash metal rejection (Discrimination). Trigger Switch has three positions; 1. Forward (Tone I.D.). 2. Center (Search). 3. Squeezed and Held (Pinpoint/All Metal). 4 SENS Turns the M6 ON/OFF and adjusts the signal strength of targets, ground and electrical interference. 1 3 TRAC Toggle The Beach and "▼ On" positions enable "Auto Trac®" to adjust automatically to beach and ground conditions.
Quick Start Instructions Chapter 3 M6 Quick Start With the M6 properly assembled and the batteries installed, follow the instructions below to start finding treasures! 1 Set the Auto Trac® Toggle to the "On" position.

Chapter 4 M6 Display M6 Display The M6 display and reference label below the display provide a wealth of information about the metal target. The display information works best after the solid repeatable audio "beep". The display will momentarily show a software version and battery voltage immediately after the SENS knob is turned "on". The M6 operates on a twelve volt battery system, new quality batteries will indicate 12 + volts.
Half block indicates target I.D. is not certain. Chapter 4 M6 Display 2. Blocks - A series of 16 blocks appear along the bottom portion of the display and line up with the indications on the reference label below the display. It is important to note these blocks are from a separate source than the VDI number and separate sound provides a second opinion. A full block indicates the M6 has complete information for target identification. A half block indicates the M6 has partial information.

Chapter 5 M6 Controls Controls Trigger (on hand grip) Center Position (Discrimination) "Search" The DISC control works like most traditional metal detectors. Metal items below the DISC control setting are rejected (quiet or broken) by the audio ... metal items above the DISC control setting are accepted and produce a smoother, solid, and more consistent audio beep. Forward Position "Tone I.D.
Chapter 5 M6 Controls Chapter 5 MXT Controls TRAC TOGGLE AUTO TRAC® Toggle The TRAC toggle selects the type of ground mineral rejection (ground balance) and automatic tracking to ground mineral changes best suited to the specific area. Three different positions each for a specific ground condition (ground type) are provided. The On position is used for normal or typical ground conditions.
Chapter 5 MXT Controls Eliminating Hot Rocks: The "Lock" can be used to deal with rocks that contain much different minerals than the surrounding ground. (Referred to as hot or cold rock). This procedure is the reverse of the previous example. To eliminate hot or cold rock, balance DIRECTLY OVER the problem rock and move toggle to "Lock". This eliminates the ground response of the rock and detects targets only.
Chapter 5 M6 Controls SENS Control Chapter 5 MXT Controls SENS Control/ON-OFF The SENS control turns the instrument on/off and selects the signal strength. Increased signal strength does not always find more targets at greater depths. Sometimes high ground mineralization will "bounce" the signal back and mask good targets.
Chapter 5 MXT Controls SENS Control Chapter 5 M6 Controls SENS Adjustment (continued) 5. While using a steady slow search coil sweep speed, simultaneously advance SENS towards "100". If the "OVERLOAD-REDUCE SENS/ LIFT LOOP" alert keeps popping up on the display, or if ground noises make it difficult to recognize metal targets, reduce SENS counterclockwise. 6. The trash I.D. capability of the M6 also functions more accurately when the SENS is set at a level which allows for smooth operation.
Chapter 5 M6 Controls Chapter 5 MXT Controls DISC CONTROL DISC (Discrimination) Control DISC (Discrimination) is used to adjust the level of audio rejection against trash metals. The (Preset) just below NICKEL is recommended for most general purpose searching. In this position, the detector will provide a reject response to most iron and small foil and respond to most valuables including jewelry.
Chapter 5 MXT Controls Chapter 5 M6 Controls Some large trash metals, such as pieces of lead, pot metal, aluminum, tin, brass, copper, or significant grade iron will produce a good sound regardless of the DISC control position. An operator should dig these unusual scrap metals to be successful. 2. Tone I.D. With the Trigger on the hand grip in the forward position, and the DISC control set at any typical rejection level, Tone I.D. is available.
Chapter 6 M6 Searching Chapter 5 MXT Controls Pinpointing Pinpoint Technique Due to the wide scan nature of modern search coils it can be difficult to locate small targets under the physical center of the loop. Use an "X marks the spot" technique as shown in the diagram to identify the portion of ground the metal target is in. NOTE: Turn the detector 90° to the first side to side loop movement and repeat for "X"ing the center.
