LCD TARGET DISPLAY
READING THE DISPLAY
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows
the PROBABLE identification of the
targeted metal.
Pass the search coil repeatedly over a
target, and observe the target readout.
The detector will register a repeated,
unchanging target identification when a
buried target has been located and
identified. If, upon repeated passes over
the same spot, the target identification
reads inconsistently, the target is probably
a trash item, or oxidized metal. With
practice, you will learn to unearth only the
repeatable signals.
The segment identifications are highly
accurate, when detecting the objects
described on the label. For example, if
you pass the coil repeatedly over a nickel,
your detector will repeatedly register a
nickel. However, if you repeatedly register
a nickel, for an unknown buried object,
you could be detecting some other
metallic object with the same magnetic
signature as a nickel.
GOLD TARGETS Gold objects will
register on the left side of the LCD scale.
Gold flakes will register under Iron/Foil
Small gold items will register under nickel.
Medium-sized gold items will register
under Scrap.
Large gold items will register as Zinc 1¢.
SILVER TARGETS: Silver objects will
register to the right of the scale, under
25¢, 50¢, $1.
IRON/FOIL: All sizes of iron and
aluminum objects will register on the
far-left side of the scale. This could
indicate a worthless item such as a nail,
or a more valuable historic iron relic.
5¢ NICKEL: All nickels will register here.
Some newer pull-tabs will also register here,
small gold items can also register here.
SCRAP: Older pull-tabs and medium
size gold objects will register to the left
side of the scrap area.
Large gold items and older screw caps
from glass bottles will register to the
right side of the scrap area.
Some non-U.S. coins of recent vintage
can often register as scrap.
1¢ ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982)
will register here. Many non-U.S. coins
of recent vintage will also register here.
10¢: Dimes and pre-1982 pennies will
register here. Older, pre-1982, pennies
are composed of copper, which has a
metallic signature similar to a dime.
Caution: The target indications are
visual references. Many other types of
metal can fall under any one of these
categories. You will experience a
trash-to-treasure ratio when treasure
hunting. The more you practice, the
lower you will push your trash-to-
treasure ratio. While your detector will
eliminate or indicate the presence of
most common trash items, it is
impossible to accurately classify ALL
buried objects. The LCD provides a
visual reference to minimize the
detection of trash objects. By using the
target ID in conjunction with
discrimination control and the three-
tone audio identification system
(discussed later), you can further
reduce the trash-to-treasure ratio.
