Preface
This product is a product with excellent sensitivity and discrimination
ability, can identify and display six categories of metals, but also can
finely indicate the metal material by using two digits. The boot is set to
the most commonly used NORMAL state, reducing error operation.The
working mode is set according to the scene. The 8 LED's indicate the
working mode and the signal intensity, which is both convenient and
eye-catching, bringing a new feeling for beginners.
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE OPERATION OF THE DEVICE LEGAL
DISCLAIMERS
*Comply with applicable laws and regulations governing the use of
metal detectors while using this detector. Do not use the detector
without authorization in protected or archeological sites. Do not use
this detector around unexploded ordnance or in restricted military
zones without authorization.
*Notify appropriate authorities with details of any historical or
culturally significant artifacts you find.
*When excavating a target, use reasonable methods, avoid destroying
vegetation. Leave the land and vegetation as you found it, fill in any
holes after excavation.
No trespassing. Before you start detecting obtain permission to search
from the landowner, regardless of the status, or perceived status, of the
land. Remember that all land(including parks, public open-spaces,
beaches, and foreshores) has an owner and an occupier(such as a
tenant farmer) can only grant permission with both the land owner's
and tenant's agreement. Any finds discovered will normally be the
property of the landowner, so to avoid disputes it is advisable to get
permission and agreement in writing first regarding the ownership of
any finds subsequently discovered.

Quick Start
1. Place the detector
Place the detector on a wooden or plastic table and stick the tray out
above 30cm. Stay away from walls, ceilings and floors, turn off various
electrical appliances that cause electromagnetic interference, and
remove accessories such as watches and rings from your hands.(see

2. Starting up
Press POWER, the detector emits two chirping sounds, all LCD patterns
are lit for a moment, the detector default NORMAL status
3. ALL METAL mode test
After turning on, the ALL METAL cursor and LED are on. Samples of six
metal (nails, 5 ￠nickel, pull ring, 1 ￠zinc, 10 ￠copper, 25 ￠
silver) were crossed 7-10cm(2.7-3.9’’) above the search coil.

6.SAND mode test
a)Press the MODE button again, the SAND cursor and LED will light up
b)Swipe the six samples in sequence 7-10cm above the probe.
c)When the nails passed, the machine made no sound and the iron was
eliminated.

d)When other metal samples are crossed, the machine emits a high
pitch, the corresponding target cursor flashes, and the digital cursor
displays the corresponding number. (See graph 13, taking 10￠copper
coin as an example)

7.DISC mode test
a)DISC mode is set with another key. Short press the "DISC/P-P" key, the
DISC cursor will light up and enter the DISC mode. (See graph 14)
graph 14

b)Short press "DISC/P-P" again, and cycle from left to right to select the
metals you want to exclude. For example, to exclude iron and nickel
coins, short press twice, and the first and second target cursors on the
left will go out.
c)Swipe the six samples in sequence 7-10cm above the probe.
d)When iron nails and nickel coins pass by, the machine does not make
a sound, indicating that iron and nickel coins have been eliminated.
e)When other metal samples are crossed, the machine emits a high
sound, the corresponding target cursor flashes, and the digital cursor
displays the corresponding number. (See graph 15) Take 1￠zinc coin as
an example).

8. PINPOINT mode test
a)Long press the DISC / P-P key, and the PP cursor lights up and flashes.
The detector will stop blinking when it completes the balance. The
identification and digital cursor are extinguished, the depth luminosity
is full, and the detector emits a slight single-frequency medium tone.
(see graph 16)

graph 16
b)Holding a 25￠silver coin, slowly move closer to the probe plate. At
about 7"-8", the first signal strength LED lights up and the sound
becomes louder. Continue to move the 25￠silver coin closer to the
probe, and all four signal strength LED lights will light up and the sound
will be louder. Then the depth cursor indicates that the depth drops
until only one is left, indicating that the metal has gradually approached
the center of the probe. (See graph 17)
graph 17

c)Long press the "DISC/P-P" key again, the P-P cursor goes out,
indicating that the PINPOINT function status has been exited.
After completing this step, the operator has a preliminary familiarity
with the detector and can proceed to the next step of field operation.
Field operation
The metal detector is an instrument for outdoor use. There is too much
metal in the room, and there are various electrical appliances that emit
interference signals. Generally, it is not suitable for the use of the
detector.
The situation of field detection is relatively complex, and the soil
composition, composition, size, shape, and oxidation degree of
underground metals will all affect the detection results. Intro here is
only the general step of field detection, which requires operators to
repeatedly practice and accumulate experience, in order to achieve
good results.
1. Starting up
Lift the detector horizontally, keep the probe away from the ground,
press the ON button lightly, the detector emits two beeps, all the
patterns on the LCD will light up for an instant, and the detector enters
the NORMAL state, which is: working mode ALL METAL; sensitivity level
3, The volume is low. This is the most common way of working.
2. Set the way you work
In general, the operator can choose the preset ALL METAL. In occasions

with less waste metal, a PASTURE can be chosen.In places with more
waste metals, you can choose PARK to judge the metal category with
the help of its three-audio function.On wet sandy beaches, especially
beaches, SAND is available.To exclude metals with low conductivity,
select the DISC.
3. Select sensitivity
The detector always hopes that the sensitivity of the detector is very
high. However, in the higher sensitivity range, the detector is very
sensitive to electromagnetic interference from nearby power lines or
cables, and it also reacts abnormally to mineralization or conductivity in
the soil. If you move the probe in a place where there is no metal in the
detection area, the detector often sends out unstable false signals,
please reduce the sensitivity.
If you and your partner turn on the detector at the same time, please
keep a distance of more than 10 meters and reduce the sensitivity
appropriately.
4. Move the search coil
During the detection, the search coil should be moved at a uniform
speed, do not go fast and slow. The search coil is parallel to the ground
and remains about an inch, not swinging high and low above the ground
like a pendulum. (see graph 18)
graph 18
Scan the coil from one side to another at about 3 feet (1 m) per second.

Also, push slowly forward with about half the search coil diameter each
time to ensure that the search coil scanned the detected ground
without any omissions. It was wrong to shake the search coil above the
ground. (see graph 19)
graph 19
Most valuable metals can produce reproducible signals. If the signal
cannot be repeated, it is mostly false. When a clear sound indicates the
buried target, you can read out the approximate category and depth of
the target on the LCD screen. You can also move above the target by
slowing down the probe to get a more repetitive signal.
5. Use the sound to help identify it
In the PARK mode, the sound discrimination system emits sounds at
three different frequencies to help with the discrimination.
Bass —— with iron-containing metal, 5 ￠nickel, etc.
Medium tone —— ring, soda bottle cap and zinc containing coins.
High-tone —— contains copper, aluminum, silver metals, such as 10 ￠,
25 ￠and other copper coins, silver coins.
6. Use a digital cursor to help identify it
Refer to the following table as a preliminary guide.The table lists the
approximate numerical range of dollar and pound coins. During
