Chapter 3 XLT

Quick Start

Ready to Dig

Permission - Prior to searching and digging you

must have permission to search private property,

from the owner or caretaker.

Laws - Know the laws that apply to the area you

are going to search. Laws vary a great deal with the

City, County, State, and Country, regarding the use

of metal detectors. Be respectful of private prop-

erty, public property, and the laws which govern

the use of metal detectors.

Tools - Care must be taken to dig in a way that is

friendly to the landscape. Tools and methods vary a

great deal with the area, season, and types of target

you are recovering. Check with your dealer for

recommended tools and methods for your area.

Trash - When searching, remove all trash you

come across. This not only makes your future

searches of the area more productive; it promotes

the hobby of metal detecting.

Get Involved - Your dealer knows of metal detect-

ing clubs and organizations which promote and

protect the hobby. A club is a great way to not only

learn good detecting habits, but to gain permission

to search areas as a group as well as have organized

competition hunts.

Factory Preset Programs

Reached from the MAIN MENU, the factory

PRESET PROGRAMS give a quick start for:

Coins: general purpose settings, discriminates

(rejects) most common junk items like nails, foil,

pull tabs, and hot rocks; and responds to most coins

and large jewelry. Use in lawns, parks, and play-

grounds where lots of trash rejection is desired.

Coin & Jewelry: less discrimination (less trash

rejection), desirable because of the high degree of

variance found in jewelry alloys. More digging

required. Good program for lawns, parks, and

playgrounds. Use screen more than sound.

Jewelry & Beach: similar to Coin & Jewelry, but

Pro Options are changed for salt water.

Relic: even less discrimination than Coin & Jewelry

or Jewelry & Beach, all types of metals except

small iron items like nails, and some stainless steel.

Brass, lead, aluminum, as well as copper, silver,

and gold all respond solidly. Ferrous (iron), such as

large nails, weapons, and cannon ball fragments

will also respond . Suitable for all significant targets

and separate ferrous/non-ferrous by display indica-

tions.

Prospecting: NO AUDIO DISCRIMINATION. All

metals respond with beep. But V.D.I. numbers

show only for metals that could be gold. Dig only

V.D.I. number (possibility gold) targets and avoid

iron. Targets which cause an audio response, with-

out causing a V.D.I. number to appear on the

display, are not likely to be gold nuggets. Although

high-frequency gold-shooting detectors will re-

spond better, this mode will offer good results for

the occasional nugget hunter by responding to

nuggets in the nine-grain and heavier category.
