OWNER’S MANUAL

Your Tracker II is an advanced technology Metal

Detector. If you are new to the hobby or have

never used a metal detector before, we

recommend that you:

Do Not Use Indoors. Household

appliances generate

electromagnetic fields, which can

interfere with the detector.

If demonstrating indoors, turn the

sensitivity down and keep the

search coil away from floors,

walls, and metal objects.

Turn SENSITIVITY knob to a low

setting in the event of false signals

or chatter.

A little practice is required to

understand when and how to position

the sensitivity at or near 100%.

3) Use 9-volt

ALKALINE

batteries only.

Please read this manual.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Tracker II 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 to come. TERMINOLOGY The following tersm are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology among detectorists.
PAGE 4
TROUBLESHOOTING ASSEMBLY No tools are required. Follow these steps: 1 2 3 Unpack your detector and find the following parts: •Detector body, attached to S-rod handle and search coil. •Lower stem (short metal tube with plastic extension and silver bottom). • (2) Coil knobs. One with a shaft attached, one without. SYMPTOM Armrest 5 Attach the coil to the stem using the coil knobs.

APPLICATIONS COINSHOOTING The most popular metal detecting application. When coinshooting, you want to discriminate out pull-tabs, screw caps, and iron objects. Beware that highly oxidized steel may also be detected. In the event of low tones, tune Discrimination control to induce "scratchy" tones; these might be trash items. Control Settings Required: 1) DISC Mode 2) DISCRIMINATION knob in 2:00 position RELIC HUNTING A relic is a historical object, sometimes of great value.
PAGE 6
OPERATION–Getting Started in the Field STANCE TARGET RESPONSE •Stand with your arm extended in front of your body. Hold the search coil off the ground, _ to 1 inch above the surface. Most desirable targets will induce repeatable tones. When the detector emits a tone, pass the coil over the same spot again, and listen for a consistent repeatable tone each time the coil passes over the target zone. •Position the search coil parallel to the ground. SWEEP •Swing the coil slowly, from side to side.
PAGE 7
IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES (continued) GOLD TARGETS Gold will induce a low tone. In the DISC mode, gold will be eliminated at various DISCRIMINATION knob settings, depending upon the size of the object. Smaller gold objects will be eliminated at lower discrimination settings. A man’s gold wedding band, for example, will be eliminated in approximately the 12:00 discrimination position. Gold flakes and necklaces will be eliminated at low discrimination settings.

GROUND BALANCING You can effectively detect in most soil conditions with the GROUND control in the NORMAL position. As you sweep the coil from side-to-side, the detector is constantly scanning the ground and self-adjusting to changing soil conditions. Soils vary in their magnetic, conductive and alkaline properties. Soils vary by region of the country, and can even vary within small areas; soil at the top of a hill can be different from the soil in a nearby depression.
