FEATURES
MD 6000 metal detector is a model with superb quality and performance.
It not only has high sensitivity but also distinguishes the metal type. It
can help the user to find lost coins, gold/silver jewelry and metal objects,
which can enable the users to have fun during operation.
 Motion detection has relatively low requirements on the
environment.
 The Sensitivity adjustment function enables the detector to easily
adapt to different environments.
 The Discrimination adjustment function enables the elimination of
unwanted metal.
 Water-proof detector and headset enable the underwater
detection.
PREPARATION
1. Assembly
 Remove the stem and search coil assemblies from the shipping
carton. Unscrew the knob on top of the stem 1 and remove the knob
connector. Insert the stem and align the holes on the search coil
bracket and the stem 1. Push the connector through the holes and
tighten the knob.
 Then remove the control box fixed on the upper stem 2 with arm
support from the shipping carton. Insert stem 1 into this upper stem
2 by snapping two spring locks on stem 1 into the proper holes on
stem 2.
 User may adjust the stem length at will. To extend the lower stem,
push in the spring lock, pull out the lower stem and let the spring
lock snap into another hole. Wind the search coil cable around the
stem, make sure there is some slack, then tighten the locknut.

2. Battery installation
One 9 Volt 6F22 battery is used to power this detector.
 Set “SENS” on position of“POWER OFF”
 Use accessory to screw off the battery cover，place a 9V battery
into the battery compartment by matching the polarity symbols (+
and -) marked on connector.
 Reinstall the battery cover and tighten by the accessory.
Caution:
If you don’t plan to use the unit for a week or more, remove the batteries.
Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

CONTROL PANEL
1. Illustration of control panel.
⑴ Power switch and “SENS” control：
The sensitivity control is also the power switch. Rotate
counter-clockwise to turn off the power. Rotate it clockwise, away from
OFF, to turn on the power.
⑵ “DISC” control：
Rotate counter clockwise to detect all types of metal. Rotate clockwise to
eliminate most of the junk metal. Different DISC degree is to be chosen
according to different needs.
⑶ LED & Headset：
The LED flashes red when a target is detected, the closer to the target,
stronger the LED flashes. The LED will also flash red when the batteries
need replacing.
When LED flashes red, the headset will give out a sound of 400Hz TOO,
which indicates that the detector is approaching the target or the battery
needs replacing.

OPERATION
Clockwise rotate the “SENS” control to power on the detector.
1. “DISC” function
By adjusting the Discrimination control you will be able to ignore small
pieces of metallic trash while detecting valuable targets. Discrimination
points are determined by such factors as size, shape, depth, and type of
metal and ground mineralization.
⑴ Scatter some sample targets such as coins, pull tabs and small pieces
of foil on the ground 1 to 2 feet apart.
(2) Turn the Sensitivity Control clockwise to set sensitivity to maximum.
(3) Turn the Discrimination control to counterclockwise.
(4) Put the headset on and turn on the POWER. Hold the search coil
about 2 inches above and parallel to the ground. Move it slowly over the
samples and note the LED and Audio response as you pass over each
one. Keep in mind that MD6000 is a motion detector and responds only
when the search coil is moving.
(5) Turn the Discrimination Control clockwise several points of the white
region and again pass over the targets. Repeat this process at yellow
region and so on to the red region. You will note that as you change
discrimination, MD6000 will reject some targets and continue to respond
to others. You can determine the discrimination points per your needs.
For example, the small nail discrimination may be at some point of the
yellow region and the pull-tab discrimination point at red region.
(6) Some objects such as shallow bottle caps, bent pull tabs or trash less
than 2 inches from the coil may be difficult to reject. The headset will
give out a broken signal that will usually disappear if the search coil is
raised slightly. The strong signal of a good target will just get weaker too
when the coil is raised.
(7) MD 6000 will remain silent when some objects are rejected, however
other objects may “snap, crackle and pop” as they are rejected. This is
normal responses indicating that the powerful discrimination circuitry is
doing its job.

(8) Large pieces of trash such as beer cans or jar lids may sound like
good targets no matter what you do. With a little practice, however, you
will be able to tell the difference between a large target and a small coin
sized object.
2 ”SENS” function
⑴ Rotate clockwise to turn on the power, rotate to the full to set the
highest SENS. High SENS should be used in the most detections.
⑵Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease the SENS. Rotate
counter-clockwise to turn off the power.
NOTES
The environment will directly affect the detection result. Through field
detection you will master how to properly conduct the operation. Some
special circumstances are listed in below to give some hints how to
detect and what to note when you detect in such environment.
1. If there are 2 detectors operating at the same time in your detection
area while they’re also close to each other, it’ll lead to the mutual
disturbance. In this case, you may decrease the SENS or keep the 2
detectors far away from each other.
2. If there is interference from electrical cable or TV/Radio station in your
searching area, lower the sensitivity or move away from the current
searching area of disturbances.
3. The proper SENS setting is very important when detecting in complex
environment. Sometimes a too high SENS will on the contrary lead to
the non-ideal detecting result, because the soil mineralization and junk
metals will both influence the signal which in turn affects the normal
detection. Thus you need to repeat the SENS adjustment to reach the
best condition. Only in most ideal environment, can full SENS be set.
4. The detection cannot be conducted if there is bulk metal near the
object metal, since the signal form the bulk metal may exceed the one
from the valued object metal. In this case, you have to remove this bulk
metal or give up detection in this searching area.

TESTING（also applicable underwater）
⑴ Turn on the power.
⑵ Set “SENS” & “DISC” control on proper position.
⑶ Find a place without metal object.
⑷ Place the object metal you want to search on the ground as the
sample.
⑸ Keep the search coil 1-2 inches from the ground, move the coil back
and forth on above the sample to observe the reaction.
Note ：
Please mark the place where to put the metal object in case of loss.
CORRECT USE OF THE SEARCH COIL
⑴ Do not sway the search coil like a pendulum, or the lifted side of the
search coil will cause false readings.
Correct
Wr ong
⑵ Sweep your search coil as following picture, move the search coil
right and left in an arc line. For not missing any target, it is better to keep
the distance from search coil to the ground about 1 – 2 inches (closer to
the earth for smaller target) and the distance between two neighboring
arcs is about 15 – 20cm. Please move slowly and it should be parallel
between the arc lines in case the object can be missing.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your MD 6000 metal detector is an example of superior design and
craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your
metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
－ 8 －
Handle the detector gently and
carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and
cases and can cause the
detector to work improperly.
Use the detector only in normal
temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can
shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage the cases of the
detector.

－ 9 －
Keep the detector away from dust
and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the
detector.
WARNING
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and
cases and can cause the detector work improperly.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
