requires an understanding of some basic
features and metal detecting concepts.
If you do not have prior experience with a metal
detector, we strongly recommend that you:
1) Adjust the Sensitivity to a low setting in
the event of false signals. Always begin use at a reduced
sensitivity level; increase to full sensitivity after you have become
familiar with the detector.
2) Do not use indoors. This detector is for outdoor use only. Many
household appliances emit electromagnetic energy, which can
interfere with the detector. If conducting an indoor demonstration,
turn the sensitivity down and keep the search coil away from
appliances such as computers, televisions and microwave ovens.
If your detector beeps erratically, turn off appliances and lights,
especially those with dimmer switches.
Also keep the search coil away from objects containing metal, such
as floors and walls.
3) Read this manual. Most importantly, review the Quick-Start Demo
(p.6 & 7) and Basic Operation (p. 8-11).
4) Use 9-volt ALKALINE batteries only. Do not use Heavy Duty
Batteries.

  • Page 3: Terminology

    TERMINOLOGY The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists. ELIMINATION Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the coil’s detection field.

  • Page 4: Assembly

    ASSEMBLY Assembly is easy and requires no tools. Just follow these steps: Connector on back of Using the supplied bolt and control housing knurled knob, attach the search coil to the lower stem. Press the button on the upper end of the lower stem and slide the lower stem into the upper stem.

  • Page 5: Batteries

    BATTERIES Use ALKALINE batteries only. To install the batteries: Remove battery cover by disengaging the clip at the back. Align the polarity of the batteries correctly, with the positive "+" toward the coil plug connection, as indicated by – indicators housing.

    BASIC OPERATION POWERING UP Press the POWER touch pad. • The detector will beep 4 times • All display segments will illuminate momentarily • The SENSITIVITY and BATTERY indicators will stay illuminated SENSITIVITY The detector’s default sensitivity will be indicated with two segments. At this setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized object, such as a quarter, buried approximately seven inches deep.

  • Page 9: All Metal

    BASIC OPERATION (continued) DEFAULT OPERATION The detector defaults to ALL METAL mode after powering on. In this mode, all types of metals will be detected. An object’s probable identification is indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. In addition, the probable depth of coin-sized objects is indicated by the large numeric indicator in the center of the display.

    BASIC OPERATION (continued) To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION L touch pad. Each time the L pad is depressed, an additional "R" will appear, thus eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the corresponding categories. To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION M touch pad.

  • Page 11: Headphones

    BASIC OPERATION continued HEADPHONES Using headphones (not included) with your metal detector makes it easier to identify subtle changes in the threshold levels for better detection results, and also reduces drain on the batteries. The Treasure Hunter Metal Detector has a stereo headphone jack located at the rear of the case.

  • Page 12: Audio Target Identification

    AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying buried objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism to alert the user to the nature of buried objects. This audio feedback system first alerts the user to the presence and classification of objects, whose nature and location can be confirmed using the LCD display.

  • Page 14: Sensitivity Adjustment

    SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE The principle use for the Sensitivity Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). A hobby metal detector is an extremely sensitive device; the search coil creates its own magnetic field and acts like an antenna. If your detector beeps erratically when the search coil is motionless, the unit is probably detecting another electromagnetic field.
