8. Operation
8.1 Code of Conduct
Do not interfere with archaeological sites or ancient monuments. Join your local archaeological society if you

are interested in ancient history.
Do not leave a mess. Use a sharpened trowel or knife to cut a neat circle or triangle, extract the object and

carefully replace the soil and the grass.
Help keep your country tidy. Bottle tops, silver paper and tin cans belong in a waste bin. Rusty iron and

other scrap should be collected and taken to a specialized company for further handling.
Do not trespass: ask permission before venturing onto private property.

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.
8.2 Switching on your Detector
First turn the volume knob to 12 o'clock (halfway between MIN and MAX). Slide the power switch to ON. All
symbols are displayed on the LCD screen. The detector sounds a low, a medium and a high tone respectively.
After about 2 seconds, the detector automatically enters the stand-by mode. The LCD now displays SENS, DISC
and their respective values before power-down.
8.3

Setting the Operating Mode

The detector has four operating modes: ALL-METAL, DISC, NOTCH and AUTO NOTCH. Select one of these
modes by pressing the MODE button at the left of the control panel. The LCD will display the selected mode.
ALL-METAL: used for detecting any type of metal. When hunting in this mode, it is important that the

detector be ground balanced to offset the effects of minerals present in the soil, or to balance the effects of
salt water when hunting on beaches. To do so, press GND TRAC several times to allow the detector to
stabilize. Lower the search coil and slowly sweep the search coil at about one inch above the ground. When
the unit passes over a metal object, the detector will display the depth of the object and emit a tone. The
higher the tone, the closer you sweep over the object.
DISC: used for target discrimination. Set the discrimination range by pressing ADJ. Increase or decrease

the range with + or – respectively.
