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 of these modes, please read the following
explanations for each of these mode settings carefully.
ALL METAL is the deepest detection mode. Different than the discrimination modes, this
mode features a threshold tone which is continuously heard in the background.
ALL METAL mode detects all targets (metal, mineralized rocks, etc.) and provides a single
target tone for any target detected. When ALL METAL mode is selected, the detector does
not discriminate between differing target types. The volume and the tone increases in
pitch as the coil is moved closer to the target.
The default values for DISC.FILTER, SENSITIVITY and iSAT will provide the best
performance for a variety of ground mineralization conditions. Fine tune (adjust) these
settings to account for variations ground conditions for each location being detected.
ALL METAL Mode
DISC modes have common performance features. They discriminate varying metal
targets, but perform differently based on ground conditions in the area being detected as
described below:
IMPORTANT:
When using DISC.1 FAST and DISC.2 DEEP, sensitivity level must be properly
adjusted so that the detector is silent when no metal is present under moving coil. If you
hear crackling sound in DISC modes, the SENSITIVITY is adjusted too high and must be
gradually reduced until no sound is heard.
No Threshold will be heard when using DISC.1 FAST and DISC.2 DEEP. The
Au GOLD
FINDER
will provide audible response only when target is detected.
Discrimination Modes (DISC.1 FAST / DISC.2 DEEP)
DISC.1 FAST is a 2-tone discrimination mode designed for use in gold fields with high
mineralization or significant quantities of conductive hot rocks. DISC.1 FAST provides
slightly less depth performance but significantly improved target detection and recovery
speeds in trashy and/or highly mineralized soils when compared to the other modes.
DISC.1 FAST Mode
DISC.2 DEEP is a 2-tone discrimination mode designed for use in gold fields with less
mineralization and/or minimal quantities of conductive hot rocks. DISC.2 DEEP provides
increased depth performance and slower recovery speeds which are acceptable in
minimally mineralized soils when compared to the other modes.
In DISC.1 FAST and DISC.2 DEEP modes, the
Au GOLD FINDER
will produce a low tone for
iron and positive hot rocks. For all other metals, detector will produce a single tone which
increases in volume and pitch as the coil approaches the target.
