Coin & Jewelry: This is the primary search program used for general-purpose
searching. When searching typical soil for coins, jewelry, or any other precious
metals, and trash metal rejection is needed, Coin & Jewelry discriminates
against (rejects) ferrous (iron) objects and light foil. Discrimination can be
customized in the Coin & Jewelry mode; see Discrimination.
Beach: The Beach program has features built in to ignore conductive wet
or salty soils. Use Beach anytime you are searching a salt-water beach. And
because many fertilizers are conductive when wet, heavily fertilized farm fields
may also require the Beach mode when they are wet. The Salt Track feature
can be added to any program using the Options feature. One may need to add
the Salt feature to the Relic mode in highly fertilized wet fields, and/or to the
Prospecting program when searching desert alkali (salt) areas.
All Metal: Use the All Metal program to detect all metal types, including iron/
steel. Finding property markers, clearing nails from a driveway, locating lost
tools, relic-hunting when iron is of interest are examples of when All Metal
would be used. All Metal is a superior search program compared to locking in
the Pinpoint mode, which has electronic aids to help pinpoint that are not ideal
for general searching. All Metal does have optional VCO audio so target size
and strength influences the audio.
Relic: Optimized for searching encampments and abandoned homesteads.
Very little trash metal rejection.
High Trash: Some areas (especially public areas) have high concentrations of
trash. To productively search high trash areas requires a higher degree of Dis-
crimination (trash rejection). If trash becomes an issue using one of the other
programs, try High Trash.
Prospecting: For gold nugget searching. Also great for prospecting for other
types of naturally occurring metals: copper, silver, nickel, etc.
Pinpoint: Once the choice has been made to dig, targets can be precisely
located by pinpointing, defined as static search mode. √/X button accesses
the Pinpoint mode. Pinpoint is different from an All Metal mode in that special
features are activated to aid in target centering. Pinpoint can be toggled in the
hunting mode with a quick press. Alternately, the button can be held to keep
the detector in pinpoint mode. Pinpoint mode is not for general searching.
