
Report all historical finds to the local museum or government and get expert help if you accidentally
discover a site of archaeological interest.

Be very careful if you discover any live ammunition or any lethal object such as an unexploded mine.
Do not touch the object! Mark the site carefully and report the find at once to the local police.

Do not leave gates open when crossing fields and do not damage crops or frighten animals.

Try to get along with any other detectorist you may meet. There is much to be learnt from
experienced users.

Always obey local laws and regulations. Contact your local government for more information.
It is illegal for anyone to use a metal detector on a scheduled ancient monument unless
permission has been obtained from the Historic Buildings and Ancient Monument
Commission for England or the Secretary of State for the Environment in Scotland and
Wales.
It is forbidden to use a metal detector in order to carry out excavations of monuments and
objects, which may relate to prehistory, history, art and archaeology without prior
administrative authorization issued in terms of the qualifications of the applicant and the
nature and modalities of the excavators.
9.2 Motion and Non-Motion Modes
All-Metal Mode
The all-metal mode is a non-motion mode. In this mode, the metal is detected with the coil motionless
over the ground and the detector emits a monotone sound. There is no need to move the coil over the
ground.
Adjust the GND BAL controller and press the GND TRAC button several times to eliminate ordinary
minerals and ores.
Disc, Notch and Auto-Notch Modes
All these modes are motion modes. This means that the coil must be in continuous motion; otherwise the
target cannot be detected.
There are three tones to identify the different metals. Ground balance happens automatically and the
sensitivity is adjustable. Adjust the discrimination and/or notch range to reject trash metals.
9.3 Switching On Your Metal Detector
Rotate the on-off/volume button in a clockwise direction to switch on your metal detector. The detector
will run a self-test programme for about three seconds and switches automatically to the discrimination
mode.
9.4 Operating Modes
Press the MODE button to select the operating mode in following order:
The operating mode is displayed in the bottom left corner of the LCD display.
DISC Mode
The metal detector automatically enters the discrimination mode after power-up. The estimated depth of
the object is displayed in the depth graph window (note that the depth indication is not accurate for
larger objects) while the sensitivity graph displays the current sensitivity level.
In the discrimination mode, the metal detector eliminates unwanted objects from detection. The
DISC/NOTCH range indication shows the current discrimination level while the target indicator displays
an object's probable identification.
The depth graph will illuminate each time a target, i.e. a metal object, is detected.
To adjust the target discrimination range:
1. Press the ADJUST button to enter the setting mode. The LCD displays DISC/NOTCH in the bottom
right corner.
2. Increase or decrease the discrimination level with the arrows.
