User manual
popular size used by coin hunters and for general searching over parks, playgrounds and
beaches. For an area known to produce coins, rings and jewelry, this searchcoil should be
used for initial searching.
The 4.5” Non-Imaging searchcoil, offers the ability to recover coins and other valuable objects
from areas with large amounts of buried metal trash or in areas adjacent to such metal as
playground equipment, fences and buildings. While Imaging is not possible, the 4.5” coils have
a smaller diameter; they can detect fewer targets at a time and work in restricted areas. This
eliminates the possible “masking” effect of junk targets. Electronic prospectors also quite
effectively use the 4.5” Scorcher coil when searching for nuggets.
The 12.5” diameter Imaging searchcoil is useful for large and deep targets such as those
normally encountered in cache and relic hunting. It will also detect coins and other small
objects at greater depths than the smaller coils. Many coin hunters will switch to this size
when a faint signal is heard while using a smaller coil, which may indicate a fringe-area target.
There is also a non-Imaging 12.5” searchcoil for those seeking slightly less weight at the
expense of Target Imaging.
The 10 x 14 inch Power DD Non-Imaging searchcoil is a must for searching in moderate and
highly mineralized ground conditions. It is excellent for cache and relic hunting but its
capabilities are not limited to these areas.
Another DD coil is the 5 x 10 Elliptical Non-Imaging searchcoil. For searching tight places
where a larger, wider, round searchcoil is less than satisfactory, this coil is a must for every
treasure hunter. Similar to the Power DD coil, it easily handles all but the most severe ground
mineralization.
The Treasure Hound attachment eliminates the need for a separate “two-box” detector and
multiplies the depth to which the detector can detect objects that are larger than a fruit jar. The
Treasure Hound allows the detection of large targets more deeply, and is not bothered by
small pieces of metal junk – minimizing unnecessary digging. With Eagle Eye Pinpointing You
will now know where exactly to dig for those treasures of the past.
The detector automatically identifies that the Treasure Hound is in use and will allow only the
All Metal mode selection. Press the ALL METAL touchpad to retune the audio to your preset
threshold.
PROFESSIONAL PHASE
COIN HUNTING: After studying this Owner’s Manual very carefully, you will be able to perform
more tasks with the detector and complete them more easily. The following tips represent the
experience of a professional with the detectors.
Deep coin hunting: For maximum depth and to avoid missing a small or very old coin, search
in the Zero Discriminate mode. This will prevent missing an especially old coin that is so
oxidized that it will be rejected by any discrimination. Should the sound become erratic, press
the (-) touchpad to reduce the detection depth until the sound levels out. You are now
operating at the maximum sensitivity possible under present ground conditions. The 12.5”
searchcoil is recommended for seeking extra-deep coins.
