Metal Detector with Depth Read-Out

With your RadioShack Metal Detector, you can hunt for coins, relics,

jewelry, gold, and silver just about anywhere. This electronically ad-

vanced metal detector is versatile, easy to use, and offers superior

performance when hunting for smaller objects (such as gold nuggets

or small pieces of jewelry). The metal detector’s other features include:

Dual Liquid Crystal Display

— displays the probable type of metal

being detected and the probable depth of the target item.

Slow Sweep Discrimination

— distinguishes between different met-

als efficiently, even when the detector is swung at slow speeds.

Three-Tone Audio Discrimination

— sounds distinctive tones for dif-

ferent categories of metal objects to make target identification easier.

Eight Inch Waterproof Search Coil

— lets you use your metal detec-

tor in almost any weather conditions.

TREASURE HUNTER’S CODE OF ETHICS

All treasure hunters might be judged by the example you set. Here are

a few basic rules you should follow while using your metal detector:

• Always get permission before searching any site.

• Respect the rights and property of others.

• Observe all national, state, and local laws while treasure hunting.

• Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures. If you are not

sure about an object you have found, contact a museum or histor-

ical society in your area.

• Leave the land and vegetation as it was. Fill in any holes you dig.

• Use your detector only in safe areas.

• Dispose of any junk you find only in approved areas. Do not leave

it for the next treasure hunter to find.

CHOOSING A SEARCH COIL

The best search coil to use depends on

where

you use the detector

and the

desired target

. Your local RadioShack store carries a variety of

search coils.

• If you are looking for deeply-buried objects, a medium-sized

search coil (such as the supplied standard 8 inch search coil) is

more efficient.

• If you are looking for tiny, coin-sized objects not buried too deeply,

or if you are gold prospecting, a 4 inch search coil might work bet-

ter.

PREPARATION

Assembling the Metal Detector

Assembling your metal detector is easy and requires no special tools.

1. Using the supplied bolt and knurled knob, attach the search coil to

the lower stem. Do not fasten the bolt all the way.

2. Press the button on the upper end of the lower stem, then slide

the lower stem into the upper stem, allowing the button to stop at

the desired length.

Adjust the stem to a length that lets you maintain a comfortable

upright posture, with your arm relaxed at your side and the search

coil parallel to the ground.

3. Wind the search coil’s cable around the stem. Leave enough

slack in the cable to let you adjust the search coil when you are

hunting on uneven ground.

4. Tighten the knob at the end of the search coil.

5. Insert the search coil’s plug into the matching connector on the

control housing. Be sure the holes and pins line up correctly.

Do not force it! The plug fits only one way.
