In Multi-Tone mode the signal tones vary depending upon the object
found. The pitch of signal depends upon conductivity, the higher the
conductivity, the higher the pitch.
Iron has a very special signature that can be recognised easily. We
have assigned it a low-pitched sound together with a volume setting
(IRON LEVEL) so that you can make the tone more or less conspicuous.
assigned to iron).
This operating mode allows for improved analysis and understanding of
the detected area, e.g. in order to find areas of former human
occupancy. It also facilitates recognition of large ferrous objects (such
as old weapons). Everybody will find a use for it.
Certain types of moist ground with a low mineral content
may also trigger a low-pitched sound. The IRON LEVEL
setting may reduce or entirely eliminate that phenomenon
related to the 18 kHz detector frequency.
On certain types of ground, especially those contaminated by
copper sporting rifle cartridges or little pieces of aluminum foil, Gold
Maxx Power will can signal the presence of debris by means of a
medium-pitched tone, whereas as decent targets will trigger a high-
pitched sound. It is up to the user to decide whether or not to dig,
depending on how promising the area is, the type of target he or
she is looking for and the density of rubbish, since certain small
"decent" targets, such as very small coins, may also trigger a
medium sound.
