Assembly

1 Position S-Rod upright.

2 Rotate the LOCKING COLLAR fully in the

counterclockwise direction.

3 Insert your finger inside the tube and make sure the

INTERNAL CAM LOCK is flush with the inside of the tube.

Insert the MIDDLE STEM into the S-ROD,

with the SILVER BUTTON pointed upward

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 Repeat this process on the LOWER STEM.

8 Using the BOLT and KNURLED KNOB, attach the

SEARCHCOIL to the LOWER STEM.

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.

Wind the CABLE securely around the STEMS.

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.

Note: Very tall users can purchase the optional Extended

Lower Stem (TUBE5X), for extended reach.

Caution:

Forcing in MIDDLE STEM with CAM LOCK raised may form a burr on

camlock. If this happens, remove burr with knife to allow insertion.

Detecting Activities (continued)

Gold Prospecting

(continued)

When something that sounds like gold has been detected, most of the time it’s iron metal or a

hot rock. Always carry a strong magnet, and stick the magnet into the dirt where the detected

object is. Iron will be drawn to the magnet, and hot rocks usually will be as well. Even if you

pull iron metal or hot rocks out, always check again with the metal detector to see if there is

gold (which of course won’t be drawn to the magnet). A good magnet is what a gold

prospector uses instead of “Discrimination Mode”.

Most gold nuggets are very small, and are most often found in soil which is high in iron oxide

minerals. Therefore serious gold prospecting requires a detector with high sensitivity and with

true ground balanced motion all metals operation. Run the machine with the sensitivity high

enough to hear some noise from ground minerals, and

learn the language of the sounds you

hear. Most prospectors prefer to use headphones unless consideration for safety (for instance

rattlesnakes) rules them out. Move the searchcoil slowly and deliberately, carefully controlling

its height above the ground to minimize noise from iron minerals in the soil. If you hear ground

noise, your ground balance setting could be a bit off, so perform the ground balancing

procedure again. In some areas the ground changes over very short distances and you’ll

have to pay close attention to ground balance.

Some “gold machines” display the amount of iron mineralization in the ground. In alluvial

(placer) deposits, gold tends to be associated with iron minerals, particularly magnetite

black

sand

. If you know this to be the case in the area you're working, you can maximize your gold

recovery by concentrating your effort on areas where the display indicates higher amounts of

iron mineralization.

Remember to always carry a magnet when gold prospecting. And follow these guidelines:

Using a magnet as a “hot rock discriminator”- a summary

• Iron metal is always strongly attracted to a magnet. Steel (iron alloys) are almost always

strongly attracted to a magnet.

• Magnetite hot rocks and black sand are

always strongly attracted to a magnet.

• Other negative hot rocks are

almost always attracted to a magnet, but not as strongly as

magnetite.

• Positive hot rocks are

usually attracted to a magnet, but the attraction is often weak.

• Meteorites detected by a metal detector are

usually attracted to a magnet. The

attraction may be strong or weak.

• Gold and other nonferrous metals are

never attracted to a magnet.

Cache Hunting

A cache (pronounced “cash”) is an accumulation of money, jewelry, gold, or other valuables,

which someone has hidden. When people bury a cache, they usually put it in a strongbox or in a

jar. To search for a cache, you first need a reason to believe the cache may exist. This means

doing research. Some caches have been the subject of many stories you can read about in

print, but you need to be able to sort fact from fiction. If you can get copies of old newspaper
