ASSEMBLY
Assembly is easy and
requires no tools.
●
1 Position detector upright.
●
2 Rotate the LOCKING COLLAR fully
counterclockwise.
●
3 Insert your finger inside the tube
and make sure the INTERNAL
CAM LOCK is flush with the inside
of the tube.
●
4 Insert the MIDDLE STEM into the
S-ROD.
●
5 Rotate the MIDDLE STEM until the SILVER BUTTON
locates in the hole.
●
6 Twist the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the clockwise
direction until it locks.
●
7 If your detector has 3 tubes and 2 Locking Collars,
repeat this process on the Lower Stem.
●
8 Position the Lower Stem with the Silver Button toward the back.
Using the Bolt, Single Rubber Washer, and Knurled Knob,
attach the Searchcoil to the Lower Stem.
●
9 Adjust the Lower Stem to a length that lets you maintain a
comfortable upright posture, with your arm relaxed at your
side, and the Searchcoil parallel to the ground in front of you.
●
10 Wind the Cable securely around the Stems.
A loose or moving Cable can cause false signals.
●
11 Connect Cable Plug to housing.
Do not twist the Cable or Plug. Turn Locking Ring only. Use
minimal finger pressure to start the threads. Do not cross-
thread. When the Locking Ring is fully engaged over the
threaded connector, give it a firm turn to make sure that it
is very tight. When the Locking Ring is fully engaged over
the threaded connector, it may not cover all of the threads.
●
12 Tighten both Locking Collars.
●
13 Secure the Cable with the 2 Velcro Straps provided, one on
the Lower Stem close to the Searchcoil, and one on the
Upper Stem, close to the housing. Leave just enough slack
in the Cable, at the Searchcoil end, to be able to rotate the
Searchcoil a small amount about the Bolt. After full assembly
and upon first use in the field, check this adjustment. It is very
important to keep the Cable secure against the Stem,
especially at high Gain, as movement in the Cable may
cause false signals.

Gold Nugget Hunting
with the Optional 5” DD Searchcoil
With the purchase of the 5” searchcoil, you can bring more precision to your
search for the smallest gold pieces.
The standard 11” DD Gold Bug searchcoil is engineered for depth.
If you want to find the smallest pieces that the 11” DD might miss, consider the
5” coil.
Advantages of the 11” DD searchcoil over the optional 5” searchcoil are:
1 Deeper detection
2. Broader sweep (cover more area in less time)
Disadvantages of the 11” DD searchcoil are:
1. Less separation between adjacent buried targets.
Not as good at extremely trashy sites.
2. Loss of sensitivity to the tiniest gold pieces.
3. Does not fit into tight spaces as well.
Notice:
If you use the 5” searchcoil,
YOU MUST
install a single
rubber washer at the
searchcoil connection point.
For information about the 5” searchcoil
(part# 5COIL-GB, MRSP=159.95),
please call 800-685-5050.
