    Cs100 gb 7 right wrong search coil sweeping hints : • never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Raising the search coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep causes false readings. • sweep slowly - hurrying makes you miss targets. If the detector detects the material, it sounds a tone ...

    Cs100 gb 8 fine-tuning the detector when you become familiar with how your detector works, you can fine-tune it to make it more selective in what it finds. Discrimination is the detector's ability to differentiate between types of metal. The detector's discrimination settings determines whether the ...

    Cs100 gb 9 detection hints no detector is 100 percent accurate. Various conditions influence metal detection. The detector's reaction depends on a number of things : • the angle at which the object rests in the ground. • the depth of the object. • the amount of iron in the object. • the size of the ...
