TERMINOLOGY
The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard
terminology among detectorists.
ELIMINATION
Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not
emit a tone, nor display a Target-ID, when a metal object passes through
the searchcoil’s detection field.
DISCRIMINATION
When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and
when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this as the
detector "discriminating" among different types of metals.
Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal detectors.
Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and otherwise undesirable
objects.
RELIC
A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with
the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze
or precious metals.
IRON
Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain
metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron objects are old
cans, pipes, bolts and nails.
Sometimes, the desired target is made of iron. Property markers, for
instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can also be composed of iron;
cannon balls, old armaments and parts of old structures and vehicles can
also be composed of iron.
FERROUS
Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.
PINPOINTING
Pinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried object.
Long-buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, and can
therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil.
V.C.O.
Meaning “voltage controlled oscillator,” the V.C.O. audio method causes
both the audio pitch and the volume to rise as signal strength increases.
V.C.O. improves the user’s ability to interpret a target’s size and depth.
Very weak signals (for small or very deeply buried objects) have the
faintest volume and the lowest pitch. Larger objects, and those closer to
the searchcoil, will induce a higher volume and higher pitch sound.
GROUND BALANCE
Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see through,"
the earth’s naturally occurring minerals, and only sound a tone when a
metal object is detected. This detector incorporates proprietary circuitry to
eliminate false signals from severe ground conditions.

Overload Warning
If a metal object or highly magnetic soil are too close to the searchcoil, the
detector will “overload.”
“ ” will appear on the screen and the detector will make a rapid, repeating
mid-tone warning sound.
Overload will not harm the detector, but the detector will not function under
these conditions.
Raise the searchcoil to search at a greater distance, or move to a different location.
Unit of Measure (U/M)

If used for continuous-search, be aware that the signal is subject to drift with
both time and temperature change. Drift will cause either an increase or
decrease in sensitivity. In the most extreme case, the signal will drift upward
until the detector sounds off continuously with no target present.
Pinpoint Retuning
Retuning in the Pinpoint Mode is useful in narrowing down the location of a
target.
To retune the detector, quickly release the button and immediately depress the
button again.
When the user releases ,“ ” is displayed momentarily on the screen. The
“ ” indicates that the detector is retuning to the incoming signal level.
How to Pinpoint
Position the searchcoil 2 to 5 cm (1”-2”) above the ground, and to the side of the
target. Then press and hold . Now move the searchcoil slowly across the
target, and the sound will communicate the target’s location. As you sweep from
side to side, and hear no sound at the ends of the sweep, the target is located in
the middle of that zone, where the sound is loudest. If the sound is loud over a wide
area, the buried object is large. Use Pinpoint to trace an outline of such large
objects.
Narrow It Down
To further narrow the field of detection, position the searchcoil near the center
of the response pattern (but not at the exact center), release , and then
quickly press-and-hold it again. Now you will only hear a response when the
searchcoil is right over the top of the target. Repeat this procedure to narrow
the zone even further. Each time you repeat the procedure, the field of detection
will narrow further.
Consider Purchasing a Pinpointer
When you kneel down to unearth an object, you may find it frustrating as the object
can appear exactly like the surrounding soil. You may hold the object in your hand,
and find it necessary to pass a handful of dirt over the searchcoil to see if it contains
metal. An easier way is to use a handheld pinpointer. It is a probe-like device which
is poked into the ground, making close up pinpointing a snap, reducing digging
time, and minimizing the size of the holes you will dig. Teknetics offers a robust and
inexpensive pinpointer designed for this purpose.

IRON IDENTIFICATION
Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination
The Eurotek Pro allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but
classifies them by size and signal strength. Ferrous objects will have a Target-
ID between 1 and 39.
To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39.
Alternatively, the user can selectively eliminate ferrous objects less than a given
Target-ID. For example, to eliminate ferrous objects with an ID of less than 15,
choose a DISC setting of 14.
Volume settings 10-20 also allow the user to change the volume response of
ferrous metals.
Iron-Indicator
The IRON icon flashes momentarily when ferrous objects are present.
The IRON icon flashes independent of the discrimination setting. The user
cannot disable this icon.
Relic hunters will frequently seek out iron-laden sites as good prospective
treasure-hunting sites. The Eurotek Pro Iron-Indicator is intended for this
purpose. The indicator alerts the user to the presence of iron, even if iron has
been discriminated out. Relic hunters can search free of iron-target audio, yet
still be alerted to the presence of ferrous objects.
PINPOINT MODE
Press-and-hold to enter the no-motion Pinpoint Mode of operation.
“PP” is momentarily displayed on the screen.
In Pinpoint Mode:
• No searchcoil motion is required.
Any metal object in the searchcoil's field of detection will induce an audible
hum, regardless of whether the searchcoil is in motion or motionless.
• Target-ID is not possible.
• Discrimination is not possible.
All metal targets are detected, regardless of the DISC setting.
• Audio feedback is V.C.O.
All targets induce V.C.O. audio, regardless of the DISC setting.
Pinpoint is typically used to precisely identify the location of an object previously
detected in the Discrimination Mode.
The Pinpoint Mode can also be useful in tracing the outline of larger objects. Since
searchcoil motion is not required, very slow movement around an object can
reveal an outline of its shape.
While not intended as a continuous-search mode, Pinpoint can be used in this
fashion if the user keeps the button depressed.
MODE SELECTIONS

The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included).
Do not use ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries.
Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries.
Rechargeable batteries can also be used.
If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a
Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery.
The battery compartment is located on the
back side of the housing.
Slide the battery door to the side and remove
it to expose the battery compartment.
For easy battery removal, push down firmly
on the bottom of the battery (see illustration).
BATTERY LIFE
Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a 9-volt
alkaline battery.
Rechargeable batteries provide about 8
hours of usage per charge.
BATTERY INDICATOR
The battery icon at the top-right of the display has three vertical segments and
an outline segment.
The amount of battery voltage for anALKALINE battery is indicated as follows:
3 vertical segments illuminated: 8.1 volts or more
2 vertical segments illuminated: 7.1 to 8.0 volts
1 vertical segment illuminated: 6.5 to 7.0 volts
No vertical segments illuminated: 6.2 to 6.4 volts
Outline Flashing: 6.1 volts or less
SPEAKER VOLUME AND BATTERY CHARGE
You may notice the speaker volume drop while one battery segment is illuminated.
With the outline flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.
BATTERIES
Optional Arm Strap
Armrest Strap (optional accessory)
The strap is available for purchase as a separate
accessory. Some users prefer to use the strap
when swinging the detector vigorously in order to
hold the detector secure against the arm.
The detector can also be used without the strap,
with no compromise to detector balance and
stability under most conditions. Item # 2021112000

QUICK-START DEMONSTRATION
I. Supplies Needed
• a Nail • a Gold Ring (try several different size gold rings) • a Large Silver Coin
II. Position the Detector
a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge.
Or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the searchcoil off the ground.
b. Keep the searchcoil away from walls, floors and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and jewelry.
d. Turn off lights or appliances, whose electromagnetic
emissions may cause interference.
e. Pivot the searchcoil back.
III. Power Up
Press .
IV. Wave each object over the searchcoil
a. Notice the tones and Target-IDs for each object (assumes default DISC
setting):
OBJECT TARGET-ID TONE
Nail lower (e.g. 10-35) LOW
Gold Ring medium (e.g.- Mid 50’s) V.C.O.
Larger Gold Ring medium (but higher than ID for smaller gold ring) V.C.O.
Silver Coin higher (e.g.- 80-99) High
b. Motion is required.
• Objects must be in motion over the searchcoil to be detected.
•
Sweepobjects flat over thesearchcoil,paralleltotheplane of the searchcoil.
V. Press twice to activate the DISC selection
a. While sweeping the Nail back-and-forth, press to
increase the DISC setting.
b. Continue to press and increase the DISC setting.
•
Notice that the Nail will be eliminated from detection at a certain DISC setting.
The nail is eliminated when the DISC setting is 40 numbers greater
than the target's ID.
Caution: Passing the nail at differing angles will yield different ID numbers.
• When the Nail is eliminated from detection, the IRON segment will still
flash but no tone will sound and no Target-ID will be indicated.
VI. Repeat Step V while waiving the Gold Ring, and then also
while waiving the Silver Coin
• Notice that the Gold Ring will be eliminated from detection.
• If the ID of the Silver Coin is greater than 80, then it will not be eliminated
from detection. But if the coin’s ID is less than 80, the tone will change
from V.C.O. to High Tone as DISC is adjusted.
VII. Press and hold PINPOINT
a. Hold a metal object motionless over the searchcoil.
b. Notice that motion is not required for detection.
c. Move the object closer, then farther away from the searchcoil.
• Notice the changing sound.
• Notice the changing depth values.
DEPTH INDICATOR
In Discrimination Mode, each time an object is detected, a Bar Graph
illuminates in addition to the Target-ID.
The Bar Graph is a graphic representation of the distance from the searchcoil,
and is calibrated to a coin-sized object.
• More bars indicate a deeper object.
• Fewer bars indicate a shallower object.
The scale for coin-sized objects, with sensitivity at maximum, is:
Display:
Depth: >20cm 15cm-20cm 10cm-15cm 6cm-10cm <6cm
(8”)* (6”-8”) (4”-6”) (2.5”-4”) (2.5”)**
* 5 Bars: If the object is a coin, it is deeply buried.
…or this could be the faint signal from a large, but very deeply buried,
object.
** 1 Bar: If the object is a coin, it is shallow.
…or this could be a large object more deeply buried.

DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING
This metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When
searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following
challenges and objectives:
1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals.
2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like
nails.
3. Identifying a buried metal object before you dig it up.
4. Estimating the size and depth of objects, to facilitate digging them up.
5. Eliminating the effects of electromagnetic interference from other
electronic devices.
Your metal detector is designed with these things in mind.
1. Ground Minerals
All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals can interfere with
the signals from metal objects you want to find. All soils differ, and can differ
greatly, in the type and amount of ground minerals present. The Eurotek Pro
has a preset ground elimination setting. No user adjustments are required.
2. Trash
If searching for coins, you want to ignore items like aluminum foil and nails.
You can see the Target-ID value of the buried objects, listen to the sounds,
and then decide what you want to dig up. Or you can eliminate unwanted
metals from detection by using the DISCRIMINATION feature.
3. Identifying Buried Objects
Metal objects are identified by a 2-digit number on the display screen. This scale
has 99 points of resolution, and is an indicator of the relative electrical
conductivity of different objects. Higher numbers indicate more conductive
targets. Iron objects, which are usually of lesser value, display lower numbers.
Silver coins, for instance, usually display the highest numbers.
4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects
The 5-digit bar graph indicates the relative depth of a buried metal object.
This bar graph can indicate the relative size of different objects or their
distance from the searchcoil. For a given object, the more distance between
it and the searchcoil, the more bars illuminated. Amore accurate, and higher
resolution, depth reading is available when using the Pinpoint Mode. The
Pinpoint Mode does not require the searchcoil to be in motion to detect
metals. The ability to hold the searchcoil motionless over the target also aids
in tracing an outline of the buried object, or in pinpointing the exact location
of the object using techniques described in the pinpointing section of this
manual.

916
3-Tone System (continued)
The discrimination system in the Eurotek Pro is unlike systems in other metal
detectors.
• The default DISC setting is 0. When the detector is first powered on, all
targets are detected.
If the user saves different DISC settings (see Memory function, p. 21),
then this may change at power-up.
• As the DISC setting is adjusted, targets with IDs less than or equal to DISC
are eliminated from detection.
This target elimination scheme, common to many detectors, is
applicable to Target-IDs up to 69.
• For DISC settings greater than 69, targets in this range are not eliminated.
Rather, the tone changes from High Tone to V.C.O.
In this range, the DISC setting becomes the Variable Tone Breakpoint.
• The highest DISC setting possible is 79.
If the DISC setting is 79, then:
- all Target-IDs less than 70 are eliminated from detection
- all Target-IDs between 70 and 79 induce V.C.O. Tones.
- all Target-IDs greater than 79 induce a High Tone.
DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM
5. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
The searchcoil produces a magnetic field and then detects changes in that
magnetic field caused by the presence of metal objects. This magnetic field
that the detector creates is also susceptible to the electromagnetic energy
produced by other electronic devices. Cell phones, cell phone towers,
power lines, microwave ovens, lighting fixtures, TVs, computers, motors,
etc… all produce EMI which can interfere with the detector and cause it to
beep when no metal is present, and sometimes to beep erratically.
The SENSITIVITY control lets you reduce the strength of this magnetic field,
and therefore lessen its susceptibility to EMI. You may want to operate at
maximum strength, but the presence of EMI may make this impossible, so if
you experience erratic behavior or “false” signals, reduce the sensitivity.
HEADPHONE JACK
Push the tab up and lock into place to
expose the headphone jack.
This detector has a 1/4” headphone jack.
It works with any stereo headphone that
has a 1/4” plug.
When the headphone jack is connected,
speaker volume is disabled.
USING HEADPHONES
Using a detector with headphones
facilitates detection of the weakest
signals and also extends the battery life.
It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly, particularly
if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use headphones
near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is to be used with
interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.

The Target-ID system and the Audio-ID systems on the Eurotek operate
independently. Therefore, there may be times when the tones and IDs seem
inconsistent. For example, a very deeply buried target may induce a low tone,
but the signal may be too weak for the visual ID system to determine, with
confidence, a reliable Target-ID number. In this case, the detector may not
register a visual Target-ID, even though the detector emits a tone.

10 15
3-Tone System
Depending on the type of metal detected, and the DISC setting of the detector,
a buried metal object will induce one of the following sounds:
No sound: metals eliminated from detection (or discriminated-out), with
the DISC function.
Low Tone: targets with an ID less than 40.
V.C.O. (variable pitch and volume):
-targets with an ID between 40 and 69.
-targets between 70 and 79 when DISC setting is greater
than or equal to the Target-ID.
High Tone: - all targets with an ID of 80 or greater.
-targets with an ID between 70 and 79
if the DISC setting is less than the Target-ID.
Depending on where the user programs the DISC setting, a given target may
induce different tones.
Target-ID (continued)
As a general reference, targets fall into the following ranges:
1 - 39 : iron
42 - 48 : foil and small gold nuggets
54 - 57 : gold nuggets, gold rings or targets containing mostly gold
87 - 89 : clad coins or coins of recent vintage
82 - 83 : copper coins
93 - 99 : larger silver coins
Note: There are a wide variety of metals and no target can be identified
for certain until unearthed. This table is for general reference only.
See the table on P. 18 for a more complete listing of Target-ID values for
common metal items.

Target-ID
When objects are detected, the detector will emit a sound and a 2-digit Target-
ID will appear on the screen. Possible Target-IDs range from 1 to 99. This
number represents the electrical conductivity of the target detected; higher
numbers indicate more highly conductive targets.
The 2-digit number indicates the Target-ID of the last object detected. The
Eurotek Pro has a very fast target response and is able to detect different
objects in very close proximity. Therefore, the Target-ID displayed may change
rapidly as you sweep the searchcoil.
Three seconds after the last Target-ID is displayed, the Target-ID will time-out

detected.
The overload volume signal will always sound off in the event of signal
overload, even with the volume set to 0.
Because the Eurotek Pro is so sensitive to even the smallest iron targets, the
detector incorporates a feature to reduce the volume of iron targets to
minimize user fatigue.
Volume settings 10 - 20 are available to control the volume level of iron
targets.
As you increase volume from 10 to 20, iron-volume changes from silent to
maximum. Note that, depending on the DISC setting, iron targets may
induce V.C.O. tones; in this case, the V.C.O. tones in the iron range (ID 1
- 40) will also have the same reduced volume.
At each of the 10 - 20 volume settings, nonferrous target response is maximum
volume.
Volume control applies only to motion target detection.
Volume changes do not affect the Pinpoint Mode volume, or the
keypad volume.

HOW DEEP WILL IT GO?
The Eurotek Pro Metal Detector will detect a coin-sized object to a distance of
about 24 cm (9.5”) from the searchcoil at maximum sensitivity. Large metal
objects can be detected to a depth of more than a meter. Detectability is directly
related to the size of the metal object -- the larger the object, the deeper it can
be detected.
Accuracy of target identification is also related to distance from the searchcoil.
Beyond a distance of 20 cm (8”), the accuracy of target identification begins to
diminish.

DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM
THE BASICS OF METAL DETECTING
This metal detector is intended for locating buried metal objects. When
searching for metals, underground or on the surface, you have the following
challenges and objectives:
1. Ignoring signals caused by ground minerals.
2. Ignoring signals caused by metal objects that you do not want to find, like
nails.
3. Identifying a buried metal object before you dig it up.
4. Estimating the size and depth of objects, to facilitate digging them up.
5. Eliminating the effects of electromagnetic interference from other
electronic devices.
Your metal detector is designed with these things in mind.
1. Ground Minerals
All soils contain minerals. Signals from ground minerals can interfere with
the signals from metal objects you want to find. All soils differ, and can differ
greatly, in the type and amount of ground minerals present. The Eurotek Pro
has a preset ground elimination setting. No user adjustments are required.
2. Trash
If searching for coins, you want to ignore items like aluminum foil and nails.
You can see the Target-ID value of the buried objects, listen to the sounds,
and then decide what you want to dig up. Or you can eliminate unwanted
metals from detection by using the DISCRIMINATION feature.
3. Identifying Buried Objects
Metal objects are identified by a 2-digit number on the display screen. This scale
has 99 points of resolution, and is an indicator of the relative electrical
conductivity of different objects. Higher numbers indicate more conductive
targets. Iron objects, which are usually of lesser value, display lower numbers.
Silver coins, for instance, usually display the highest numbers.
4. Size and Depth of Buried Objects
The 5-digit bar graph indicates the relative depth of a buried metal object.
This bar graph can indicate the relative size of different objects or their
distance from the searchcoil. For a given object, the more distance between
it and the searchcoil, the more bars illuminated. Amore accurate, and higher
resolution, depth reading is available when using the Pinpoint Mode. The
Pinpoint Mode does not require the searchcoil to be in motion to detect
metals. The ability to hold the searchcoil motionless over the target also aids
in tracing an outline of the buried object, or in pinpointing the exact location
of the object using techniques described in the pinpointing section of this
manual.

a. Place the detector on a table, with the searchcoil hanging over the edge.
Or better, have a friend hold the detector, with the searchcoil off the ground.
b. Keep the searchcoil away from walls, floors and metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and jewelry.
d. Turn off lights or appliances, whose electromagnetic
emissions may cause interference.
e. Pivot the searchcoil back.
III. Power Up
Press .
IV. Wave each object over the searchcoil
a. Notice the tones and Target-IDs for each object (assumes default DISC
setting):
OBJECT TARGET-ID TONE
Nail lower (e.g. 10-35) LOW
Gold Ring medium (e.g.- Mid 50’s) V.C.O.
Larger Gold Ring medium (but higher than ID for smaller gold ring) V.C.O.
Silver Coin higher (e.g.- 80-99) High
b. Motion is required.
• Objects must be in motion over the searchcoil to be detected.
•

V. Press twice to activate the DISC selection
a. While sweeping the Nail back-and-forth, press to
increase the DISC setting.
b. Continue to press and increase the DISC setting.
•
Notice that the Nail will be eliminated from detection at a certain DISC setting.
The nail is eliminated when the DISC setting is 40 numbers greater
than the target's ID.
Caution: Passing the nail at differing angles will yield different ID numbers.
• When the Nail is eliminated from detection, the IRON segment will still
flash but no tone will sound and no Target-ID will be indicated.
VI. Repeat Step V while waiving the Gold Ring, and then also
while waiving the Silver Coin
• Notice that the Gold Ring will be eliminated from detection.
• If the ID of the Silver Coin is greater than 80, then it will not be eliminated
from detection. But if the coin’s ID is less than 80, the tone will change
from V.C.O. to High Tone as DISC is adjusted.
VII. Press and hold PINPOINT
a. Hold a metal object motionless over the searchcoil.
b. Notice that motion is not required for detection.
c. Move the object closer, then farther away from the searchcoil.
• Notice the changing sound.
• Notice the changing depth values.
DEPTH INDICATOR
In Discrimination Mode, each time an object is detected, a Bar Graph
illuminates in addition to the Target-ID.
The Bar Graph is a graphic representation of the distance from the searchcoil,
and is calibrated to a coin-sized object.
• More bars indicate a deeper object.
• Fewer bars indicate a shallower object.
The scale for coin-sized objects, with sensitivity at maximum, is:
Display:
Depth: >20cm 15cm-20cm 10cm-15cm 6cm-10cm <6cm
(8”)* (6”-8”) (4”-6”) (2.5”-4”) (2.5”)**
* 5 Bars: If the object is a coin, it is deeply buried.
…or this could be the faint signal from a large, but very deeply buried,
object.
** 1 Bar: If the object is a coin, it is shallow.
…or this could be a large object more deeply buried.

The detector requires a single 9-volt ALKALINE battery (battery not included).
Do not use ordinary Zinc Carbon batteries.
Do not use “Heavy Duty” batteries.
Rechargeable batteries can also be used.
If you wish to use rechargeable batteries, we recommend using a
Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable battery.
The battery compartment is located on the
back side of the housing.
Slide the battery door to the side and remove
it to expose the battery compartment.
For easy battery removal, push down firmly
on the bottom of the battery (see illustration).
BATTERY LIFE
Expect 20 to 25 hours of life from a 9-volt
alkaline battery.
Rechargeable batteries provide about 8
hours of usage per charge.
BATTERY INDICATOR
The battery icon at the top-right of the display has three vertical segments and
an outline segment.
The amount of battery voltage for anALKALINE battery is indicated as follows:
3 vertical segments illuminated: 8.1 volts or more
2 vertical segments illuminated: 7.1 to 8.0 volts
1 vertical segment illuminated: 6.5 to 7.0 volts
No vertical segments illuminated: 6.2 to 6.4 volts
Outline Flashing: 6.1 volts or less
SPEAKER VOLUME AND BATTERY CHARGE
You may notice the speaker volume drop while one battery segment is illuminated.
With the outline flashing, low speaker volume will be very apparent.
BATTERIES
Optional Arm Strap
Armrest Strap (optional accessory)
The strap is available for purchase as a separate
accessory. Some users prefer to use the strap
when swinging the detector vigorously in order to
hold the detector secure against the arm.
The detector can also be used without the strap,
with no compromise to detector balance and
stability under most conditions. Item # 2021112000

IRON IDENTIFICATION
Variable Iron Identification & Discrimination
The Eurotek Pro allows the user not only to discriminate iron targets, but
classifies them by size and signal strength. Ferrous objects will have a Target-
ID between 1 and 39.
To eliminate all ferrous objects from detection, set DISC = 39.
Alternatively, the user can selectively eliminate ferrous objects less than a given
Target-ID. For example, to eliminate ferrous objects with an ID of less than 15,
choose a DISC setting of 14.
Volume settings 10-20 also allow the user to change the volume response of
ferrous metals.
Iron-Indicator
The IRON icon flashes momentarily when ferrous objects are present.
The IRON icon flashes independent of the discrimination setting. The user
cannot disable this icon.
Relic hunters will frequently seek out iron-laden sites as good prospective
treasure-hunting sites. The Eurotek Pro Iron-Indicator is intended for this
purpose. The indicator alerts the user to the presence of iron, even if iron has
been discriminated out. Relic hunters can search free of iron-target audio, yet
still be alerted to the presence of ferrous objects.
PINPOINT MODE
Press-and-hold to enter the no-motion Pinpoint Mode of operation.
“PP” is momentarily displayed on the screen.
In Pinpoint Mode:
• No searchcoil motion is required.
Any metal object in the searchcoil's field of detection will induce an audible
hum, regardless of whether the searchcoil is in motion or motionless.
• Target-ID is not possible.
• Discrimination is not possible.
All metal targets are detected, regardless of the DISC setting.
• Audio feedback is V.C.O.
All targets induce V.C.O. audio, regardless of the DISC setting.
• Target depth is displayed.
Pinpoint is typically used to precisely identify the location of an object previously
detected in the Discrimination Mode.
The Pinpoint Mode can also be useful in tracing the outline of larger objects. Since
searchcoil motion is not required, very slow movement around an object can
reveal an outline of its shape.
While not intended as a continuous-search mode, Pinpoint can be used in this
fashion if the user keeps the button depressed.

ASSEMBLY
*Note: Very tall users can purchase the optional Extended Lower Stem (TUBE5X), for extended reach.
If used for continuous-search, be aware that the signal is subject to drift with
both time and temperature change. Drift will cause either an increase or
decrease in sensitivity. In the most extreme case, the signal will drift upward
until the detector sounds off continuously with no target present.
Pinpoint Depth Indicator
While is depressed, a 2-digit number indicates the depth of the target. This
depth indicator is calibrated to a coin-sized object. The maximum depth reading,
25CM or 09IN, may display in the event of electrical noise or a very weak signal.
To demonstrate the depth indicator function, hold a coin over the searchcoil,
press-and-hold and then move a coin toward and away from the searchcoil.
Hold the coin flat, parallel to the searchcoil. Watch the depth indicator change
as the distance from the searchcoil changes.
Pinpoint Retuning
Retuning in the Pinpoint Mode is useful in narrowing down the location of a target.
To retune the detector, quickly release the button and immediately depress the
button again.
When the user releases ,“ ” is displayed momentarily on the screen. The
“” indicates that the detector is retuning to the incoming signal level.
How to Pinpoint
Position the searchcoil 2 to 5 cm (1”-2”) above the ground, and to the side of the
target. Then press and hold . Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target,
and the sound will communicate the target’s location. As you sweep from side to
side, and hear no sound at the ends of the sweep, the target is located in the middle
of that zone, where the sound is loudest. If the sound is loud over a wide area, the
buried object is large. Use Pinpoint to trace an outline of such large objects.
Narrow It Down
To further narrow the field of detection, position the searchcoil near the center
of the response pattern (but not at the exact center), release , and then
quickly press-and-hold it again. Now you will only hear a response when the
searchcoil is right over the top of the target. Repeat this procedure to narrow
the zone even further. Each time you repeat the procedure, the field of detection
will narrow further.
Consider Purchasing a Pinpointer
When you kneel down to unearth an object, you may find it frustrating as the object
can appear exactly like the surrounding soil. You may hold the object in your hand,
and find it necessary to pass a handful of dirt over the searchcoil to see if it contains
metal. An easier way is to use a handheld pinpointer. It is a probe-like device which
is poked into the ground, making close up pinpointing a snap, reducing digging
time, and minimizing the size of the holes you will dig. Teknetics offers a robust and
inexpensive pinpointer designed for this purpose.
