ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR
Your 1236-X2 was designed to do one thing well provide all the
quality tools necessary to help you find good, deep targets in
trashy or mineralized soil with minimum hassle. The 1236-X2 does
this by providing you a wealth of powerfully, well-designed
instrument controls and features that give you maximum
flexibility of adjustment to accommodate your unique style of
detecting. These are the controls on your 1236-X2 . . .
Sensitivity Control: Along with an increase in sensitivity to find
those deeply buried targets, we’ve provided a versatile
SENSITIVITY control to adjust the sensitivity when searching
near large metallic objects or extremely trashy areas. At the
maximum SENSITIVITY setting a slight amount of audio threshold
is provided so the faintest of target signals can be heard.
Dual Mode Discrimination: The 1236-X2 provides two powerful
modes of discrimination for you to choose as you hunt in
different environments. In both discrimination modes you can
adjust the DISC control to accept certain types of metallic
targets while simultaneously rejecting ground minerals, trash,
and other less conductive metallic targets. With the SILENCER
switch “off” the 1236-X2 operates in a classic 2nd derivative
discrimination mode that allows all pops, clicks, and partial
target responses to be heard for maximum target information.
With the SILENCER switch “on” the 1236-X2 operates in a newly
developed 3rd derivative SILENCER mode, eliminating all
pops, clicks, and partial target responses for a quieter mode of
operation. This mode of discrimination is especially useful for
eliminating excessive pops and clicks heard when searching
in extremely trashy areas.
Search Mode Motion Circuitry: In this mode of operation the
motion circuitry in the 1236-X2 responds with a 416 Hz tone as
the search coil is moved over a target. This makes the 1236-X2
less sensitive to soil mineralization and false target responses
associated with the temperature drift and aging of electronic
components.
