Assemble the detector per instructions on page 1. Insert the batteries correctly (+/- polarity). Rotate the off/volume switch clockwise to turn on the metal detector. This switch also adjusts the volume. Immediately after turning detector on, the metal detector will emit beep(s) indicating the batte...

Search modes search modes: the au gold finder has three (3) search modes, each adapted to differing ground conditions and target types. Search modes are all metal, disc.1 fast, and disc.2 deep. You can easily switch between the modes by using the mode selector switch. For a more detailed description...

Note: nuggets under hot rocks may generate a low tone (iron tone) and this is totally normal. Recommendation: familiarize yourself with the au gold finder audio tones by testing different metal targets and hot rocks prior to use in the field. Recommendation: if you dig a target signal and locate and...
Page 13
Note: decreasing sensitivity will often resolve coil overloading due to highly mineralized ground. Recommendation: review sensitivity, threshold, isat and imask sections on pages 15-16. Threshold dial is used to adjust the background hum sound commonly referred to as the threshold sound. Threshold t...

Note: using the au gold finder in 1 tone will enable you to hear smaller gold nugget signals more clearly. -2 tone led off provides user with two tone target response. Low tone for iron (ferrous) or hot rocks and a higher tone similar to all metal target response which indicates gold and non-ferrous...

Ground balance automatic ground balance may be used in all search modes and is performed as follows: 1. Perform automatic ground balance procedure in location where there is no metal present; 2. While keeping search coil parallel to the ground, push and hold ground balance dial and begin pumping the...

1. Select all metal mode; 2. Perform manual ground balance procedure in location where there is no metal present; 3. While keeping search coil parallel to the ground, begin pumping the search coil up and down repeatedly from about 15 - 20 cm (6''- 8'') above the ground down to 3 - 6 cm (1''-2”) abov...

Note: au gold finder may produce similar responses when detecting over significantly changing ground mineralization, hot rocks or targets. In order to identify a target response, simply sweep the search coil over the target location. If the response dissipates, fluctuates or changes, detector is lik...

Important: sensitivity, threshold, isat, imask are critical settings and must be adjusted properly to ensure noise-free optimal detector performance. Factory default positions for each of these settings are marked on control panel and offer the user a baseline starting point for detector use in the ...

-if detector is stable but too noisy (loud), threshold should be decreased; -if detector is unstable (falsing and/or popping), sensitivity should be decreased; -if detector is unstable (falsing and/or popping) after reducing sensitivity, reset sensitivity to its default position and make minimal inc...

Au gold finder detector has an extremely fast recovery speed which is necessary for detecting in highly mineralized grounds, areas with hot rocks and/or trashy areas. To maximize the advantages of the fast recovery speed of the au gold finder , you should make wide, sweeping passes of coil over the ...
Page 21
After the au gold finder has been properly ground balanced, it will respond to hot rocks (as either negative or positive) when compared to the ground/soil where ground balance was performed. The negative/positive effects described above will only be valid if the ground balance is properly completed....
Page 22
When the tracking is active, the au gold finder may produce a response when passing over hot rocks. This reponse is due to magnetic/ferrous differences between the hot rock and surrounding ground. As you verify the target (repeatedly sweep the search coil over a potential target) and the target resp...
Page 23
Large targets and targets near ground surface can result in audible overload. This overload tone resembles a continuous siren sound. When you hear this tone, simply raise the coil and continue sweeping the area. This will allow the au gold finder to recover from overload, process target and provide ...
