TERMINOLOGY
The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard
terminology among detectorists.
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.
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.
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.
GROUND CANCELATION
Ground Cancelation 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 many mineralized soils.

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. This detector
has proprietary circuitry to automatically eliminate interfering signals from
minerals that occur naturally in the ground.
NOTE: This detector will not completely eliminate interference from all types
of minerals. For example, the detector IS NOT designed for use on wet
sand saltwater beaches. Another example of soil this detector will not
eliminate is any soil containing large concentrations of iron oxides, which are
usually red in color.
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 along the 9-segment Conductivity Arc. This scale is an
indicator of the relative electrical conductivity of different objects. Segments to the
right indicate more conductive targets. Iron objects, which are usually of lesser
value, illuminate on the left-most segments. Silver objects illuminate on the rightmost segments.
4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects
The 3-segment graphic indicates the relative depth of a buried metal object.
This graphic 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 arrows illuminated.
8
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING
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.

SENS
Adjust the sensitivity from 1 to 10. The higher the number, the more sensitive
the detector. This sensitivity control does not affect Pinpoint sensitivity.
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 electromagnetic energy (EMI)
produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers, 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.
VOLUME
Adjust speaker volume from 0 to 10. The Volume control changes the
loudness of the audio when targets are detected, and also the loudness of
the keypad presses and warning sounds.
DISC
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.
The DISC controls the detector's Discrimination function. In its default setting
all metals are detected. Use this DISC control in order to eliminate
unwanted types of metals from detection. Targets are eliminated from
detection from left to right across the Target Category Arc.
Each time you press the
key a target category icon will disappear.
When an icon disappears that category is eliminated from detection. Notice
that the 4 right-most categories cannot be eliminated. These 4 right-most
categories represent silver or other high-value targets, which are generally
desirable; therefore the detector does not allow them to be discriminated out.

NOTCH
The NOTCH control is similar to Discrimination in that it allows you to accept
or reject different types of metals. While DISC works left to right, the NOTCH
control allows you to accept or reject individual categories.

PINPOINT
Press-and-hold to activate the Pinpoint feature.
Searchcoil motion is not required; a motionless searchcoil over a metal target
will induce sound.
Audio is V.C.O. The 2-digit number displayed indicates target depth, in inches.
The scale in calibrated to coin-sized objects.
How to Pinpoint
After you have identified a target, press-and-hold
to identify the target's
exact location. This technique can yield more information about the target's
shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1. Press and hold .
2. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of the
target.
3. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target, and you can locate it
by the sound.
The target is located directly under where the sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil near
the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the center.
2. Release .
3. Immediately press-and-hold again.
4. Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection further.
Note: Depth indication is less accurate after narrowing.
COIL DRIFT
If you plan to use PINPOINT for continuous searching, realize that drift will
occur over time, causing the detector to gain or lose sensitivity. Periodic
retuning of the detector is required to minimize drift; release and press
periodically to retune.
Pinpointing using motion modes (without
):
1. Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side patterns.
2. Take note of the spot on the ground where “beep” occurs.
3. Step 90° to the side of the target.
4. Sweep searchcoil over.
5. This pinpoints the target location with an “X”.
13
TARGET IDENTIFICATION
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; higher numbers indicate more
highly conductive targets.
The 2-digit number indicates the Target-ID of the last object detected. This detector
has 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.
At the same time the 2-digit Target-ID appears an indicator will illuminate along the
Target Category Arc indicating which target category the detected metal object falls
into. The segment at the top will time out in 3 seconds along with the Target-ID.
3-Tone Target Identification
The detector will provide 1 of 3 sounds for any metal object detected: a low,
medium or high tone. This audio feedback system is useful in conjunction with
the visual Target-ID system described above.
The faceplate label is color-coded above the Conductivity Arc. Ferrous, gold and
silver targets will generally register within their corresponding color-coded
ranges. Targets that are not gold or silver register within the same range
according to their electrical conductivity.
Note that the electrical conductivity of a target depends on both its composition
and size. Silver is more conductive than gold so it registers farther to the right;
the larger the silver object, the farther it registers to the right.
14
DEPTH AND TARGET DISPLAY
Please refer to the display on your
detector and reference the TARGET-ID
categories below applicable to your
model (not all detectors include all of
these categories).
READING THE DISPLAY
The display shows the PROBABLE
identification of the metal detected, as well
its PROBABLE depth.
The detector will register a target
identification, upon each sweep of the
searchcoil, when a buried target has been
located and identified. If, upon repeated
passes over the same spot, the target
identification reads inconsistently, the
target is probably a trash item. With
practice, you will learn to unearth only the
repeatable signals.
The segment identifications are highly
accurate, when detecting the objects
described on the faceplate. However, if an
object registers in a given category for an
unknown buried object, you could be
detecting a metallic object other than the
object described on the faceplate, but with
the same metallic signature. Also, the
greater the distance between the target
and the searchcoil, the less accurate the
target identification.
GOLD TARGETS Gold objects will
generally register toward the middle or
left-of-center on the scale.
Gold flakes will register under iron.
Small gold items will register under foil
or 5¢.
Large gold items will register toward the
center of the scale.
SILVER TARGETS: Silver objects will
register to the right of the scale, under
dime or higher.
IRON: All sizes of iron objects will
register on the far-left side of the scale.
This could indicate a worthless item such
as a nail, or a more valuable historic iron
relic.
FOIL: Aluminum foil, such as a gum
wrapper, will register as foil. A small
broken piece of pull tab may also register
here.
5¢: Most newer pull-tabs from beverage
cans, the type intended to stay attached
to the can, will register here. Many gold
rings will also register here.
ALUM: Older pull-tabs, which always
detached completely from the can, register
here. Many medium-sized gold rings also
register here.
PT (pull-tabs): Pull-tabs from older
beverage cans will register here. Few
newer pull-tabs will also register here.
Many gold rings will also register here.
S-CAP: Older screw caps from glass
bottles will register here. Large gold rings,
like a class ring, could also register here.
Some non-U.S. coins of recent vintage
will also register here.
Zinc: Medium conductivity objects and
many non-U.S. coins of recent vintage are
classified here.
The Target Identification Categories to the
right of the display, such as 10¢, DIME,
25¢, Quarter, 50¢ and $1 accurately
identify these U.S. coins. When used in
areas outside the U.S., these categories
identify coins or metal objects of high
relative conductivity (such as silver coins
or relics), or large objects made of any
type of metal.
Caution: The target indications are
visual references. Many other types of
metal can fall under any one of these
categories. While the detector will
eliminate or indicate the presence of most
common trash items, it is impossible to
accurately classify ALL buried objects.
15
USING THE DETECTOR
Sweep Method
Sweep the detector side-to-side 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 (except when using Pinpoint).
CORRECT
WRONG
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 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.
16
CHARACTERISTICS & LIMITATIONS
1. This detector comes with a waterproof searchcoil. The searchcoil can be
completely submerged into water. The control housing is not waterproof
and cannot be submerged in water. To use the detector in inclement
weather, consider purchasing the optional detector cover.
2. BURIED UTILITY LINES. This hobby metal detector is not designed to
locate buried pipes or cables. First Texas Products manufactures a
complete line of pipe and cable locators for this application. These are
sophisticated instruments with functionality different from your hobby metal
detector.
3. SEVERE SOIL CONDITIONS. While this detector has proprietary circuitry
to cancel out minerals naturally occurring in most soil types, it cannot
penetrate the most severe soils and it is not intended for use on wet
sand saltwater beaches. However, it is well-suited for detecting on dry
sand. Saltwater is highly conductive and requires a more sophisticated
type of detector. First Texas Products offers such types of detectors. Other
highly mineralized soils, such as those found in some gold prospecting
sites, may also limit this detector's capability. If the detector tends to
overload it could indicate you are in an area containing such severe soils.
4. TARGET-ID. The detector's Target-ID system calculates and displays the
most probably identification. Target-ID is affected by soil conditions, the
searchcoil's distance from the target, the length of time the target has been
buried and the target's proximity to other dissimilar targets. Very large
metal objects can overload the detector and may be classified
inaccurately.
5. REDUCE SENSITIVITY. The primary purpose of the Sensitivity control is
to allow the operator to reduce the sensitivity of the detector. All
detectorists desire to find objects at maximum depth. However, in today's
environment there is a never ending variety of devices emitting EMI
(Electromagnetic Interference) that can interfere with this detector.
There will be environments where the detector cannot operate at
maximum sensitivity. This is not a defect. If you find yourself in such an
environment, reduce the sensitivity of the detector. Some environments
may have so much EMI it is impossible to detect there. Both overhead
power lines and buried power lines can interfere with this detector. Power
line capacity may be quite different during certain times of the day. For
instance, peak hours of electrical use that can occur around 6 p.m. can
lead to a lot of EMI. If you experience power line interference, try returning
to a given area at a different time of day.
