THREE-TONE UDIO: The detector emits a low, medium or high tone, depending on the type of metal detected. Low Tone: ferrous metals that illuminate the left target-I.D. category. Medium Tone: medium conductivity metals that illuminate the middle target-I.D. category High Tone: high conductivity metals that illuminate the right target-I.D. category PROPORTION L UDIO: The speaker volume indicates target strength.
The Basics of Metal Detecting Make sure the detector tube is adjusted to a comfortable length. Sweep the searchcoil from side to side in slow, overlapping motions. Keep the searchcoil parallel and close to the ground. Overlap each sweep to get the best possible coverage.
