QUICK GUIDE
GROUND BALANCE
Rotate the
sensitivity knob
to maximum
and the ground
balance knob to
the mid-level.
If the detector emits false signals due to interference,
reduce the sensitivity until the signals go away and
start searching.
Sensitivity is also the depth setting for the device.
Therefore, it is recommended that you do not lower it
too much suddenly but gradually decrease it to
determine the level where you are not getting any
interference and continue searching.
Holding the search coil 5cm.
above the ground, sweep it
right and left.
Turn on the device
by setting the
search mode knob
to ALL METAL.
Approximately 20
seconds later, the LEDs
on the handle will go o
and you will hear a tone
indicating that the device
is ready to use.
When the device detects a metal, it will produce an audible tone. For pinpointing the exact location of the target, move the search coil
over the target with short and faster/slower sweeps.
The most important thing to pay attention here is that as the ground balance goes into the right area, the device will start losing depth
for some non-ferrous metals except for gold. When the ground balance setting reaches the maximum point the device will detect iron
and gold but it will not detect some non-ferrous metals.
3) RIGHT AREA: Is used to eliminate high mineralized rocks and soils. If you are on a highly mineralized ground and the device is still getting
ground noise with the ground balance set at mid-level, turn the ground balance knob to the right in very small increments to eliminate the
noise.
Golden Sense ground balance setting consists of 3 dierent levels:
1) MID-LEVEL: Oers the most ideal and stable detection capability on dierent types of
grounds without sacrificing depth.
2) LEFT AREA: Recommended for more precise detections and for experienced users.
The device may generate false signals in changing ground conditions, even over holes
dug for testing. Therefore, if you set the ground balance in this area, you have to take
this factor into consideration.
After the ground balance and
sensitivity settings are
adjusted, you can start
searching by lifting the search
coil 5cm. above the ground and
sweeping it right and left,
keeping it parallel to the
ground.
To avoid missing smaller and
deeper targets, sweep the
search coil both from right to
left and left to right over each
area you are scanning, slightly
overlapping the sweeps as you
move forward.

Insert the coil cable into the shaft. Do not extend
the shaft prior to this step! Pull the cable out from
the other end of the shaft.
Coil cover use is optional. It protects the search
coil from scratches. If you want to use the cover,
remove the protective sheets from the tapes
inside the cover, attach the cover to the coil and
press firmly to make them stick together. Once
the cover is attached, you cannot take it o.

Place the washers into the openings on both sides at
the end of the extension shaft.
After placing the shaft on the coil as shown in the
picture, insert the fastening screw through the
hole and tighten it using the wingnut.
Connect the end connector on the search coil
cable with the connector underneath the handle
and tighten.
Insert the shaft in its socket underneath the
handle and start rotating the twist lock. As you
rotate the twist lock it will slide down. Before
rotating the twist lock all the way, push the shaft
up again making sure that it is in place and
secure it by tightening the twist lock.
To adjust the height of the device, loosen the
twist lock on the shaft. After adjusting the shaft
length to your height, re-tighten.
Insert the end connector on either end of the
system connection cable into the socket on the
handle and tighten securely.
Place the system box and the battery in their
proper compartments of the system box case.
Insert the battery cable through the hole on the
case, plug it into the battery input socket
underneath the system box and tighten securely.
Plug the other end of the system connection
cable into the coil input socket underneath the
system box and tighten securely.
You may hang the system box around your
neck using the neck strap or attach it to your
belt as shown in the pictures.
