II. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Stand with the detector in one hand, with the coil on
the ground, a few feet in front of you. If the stem is
not set at a comfortable height, push the button on
the lower rod to change the length. If you make a
large adjustment, wrap the cable again, starting at
the top.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the cable where it
connects to the detector body. It is
permanently attached; too much force
could damage the connection.

III. FIND TREASURE!
Your Treasure Detector will detect all kinds of metal
from iron relics, to coins and household items, to
precious metals like gold and silver.

IV. SENSITIVITY METER
Your meter moves when metal is detected. It shows
the strength of the signal and helps with pinpointing
the object. Watch for the location where the meter
jumps strongly to the right; that’s where the target is.
V. AIR TESTING
You can test your detector by passing coins over the
search coil. Remember that coins found on the
ground will lie flat; so pass the coins parallel to the
search coil for optimum results.
CAUTION: There is metal in the floors, ceilings, wall
and counters of most homes. There is metal in
tables. Keep the detector away from metal.

Do not attempt to place coins on the floor of your
home or apartment; the metal in the floor will
interfere with the signal.
It is best to have a friend hold the detector body, with
the search coil suspended in the air, while you pass
the coins.
If you turn the detector on and turn the Trash
Eliminator switch fully clockwise (to the right), you will
hear different tones. Pass a penny, nickel, dime,
quarter, nail, screwdriver and pull-tab. Notice the
different sounds, or no sound at all! Turn the Trash
Eliminator to many different settings, and sometimes
notice different tones for the same object.

VI. TUNING and GROUND BALANCING
Forget it !
With your GOLD DIGGER™ Treasure Detector, it’s automatic.
Be it hard ground, a sandy beach, rocks, or the black sand
terrains common to gold prospecting locations, your GOLD
DIGGER™ adjusts itself to tune out naturally occurring mineral
deposits, and only detect the metal objects you are looking for.
VII. CONTROLS
•POWER/SENSITIVITY
(the left knob)
The detector is off in the full counter-clockwise position (to the left).
Turn it on with a click to the right. The further clockwise, the higher the
sensitivity. If you get static or noise, then lower the sensitivity a bit.
