3. Adjust to desired length and position the coil to be flat to the ground while in use.
4. Turn the locking ring clockwise to lock the length of the shaft to desired position.
5. To adjust the length of the metal detector to a smaller unit, loosen the locking rings and position the head close to the handle.

Fun with metal detectors:
To find buried treasure, you don’t have to be sailing the high seas near a pirates lair or digging up the grounds of an abandoned palace. Precious metals lurk beneath the surface of the ground just about any- where you walk. You starting point for finding them could be a metal detector! Metal detecting is a great hobby for adventurers of all ages. With one of these devices, you can unearth things as different as metal coins, jewelry, and horseshoes. Clean and study what you find to learn more about the history of the place you’re searching.

• Did you dig up a horseshoe?
  The soil you’re searching could be the site of a former farm or even a military barracks.

• Did you find a coin?
  Check its date. If the coin is especially old it may be worth more than its face value. For example, any U.S.  dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar coin dated 1964 or earlier is made up of 90 percent silver – which meansit is worth more!

• Did you discover a piece of jewelry?
  It can be difficult to determine the value of a piece of jewelry at a glance, but researching what you’ve found can be rewarding both financially and mentally. Whether a ring, earing, or necklace, every piece of jewelry has a story. Figuring out what it is can be lots of fun.

The more objects you find the more you will learn about.
When to use your metal detector:
A great time to go metal detecting is right after a heavy rain, when the ground is soft. Wet ground conducts electricity better than dry ground, so you will have a better chance of locating buried objects than you would walking on dry ground.
This metal detector’s detection coil is water resistant, and it can be used in shallow water after a rain. However, it is recommended that you do not submerge the unit for extended time periods.

Places to search:

1. The beach is a great place to start because you get few competing signals on a sandy beach and it will be easier to dig there.
2.  Under trees where people may have sat to rest.
3. At the homes of your relatives–especially those who live in older homes.
4.  Your own front and backyards.
5. Areas where historic battles occurred. Take care to ask for permission first because you may not be able to remove objects from these locations. CAUTION: Please note that this metal detector is not designed for any military or disarming use.

Rules of metal detecting and digging:

1. Some parks and public land prohibit metal detecting and digging. Always check first.
2. Always ask for permission from the property owner before entering private property.
3.  Be responsible and cover the holes that you dig.

Using your metal detector:

Before powering on the device position the metal detector so the search coil is away from any metal objects.
Then turn the unit on by moving the toggle on the device away from you. You will see a green light showing the power is turned on. Your unit is self- calibrated and needs no further adjustment. Your metal detector is ready to be used in the most sensitive detection setting.

To search for metal objects, swing the metal detector back and forth slowly while keeping the search coil level and approx. 2 cm above the ground. When your metal detector locates a metal object it will start to emit a tone. The more solid and louder the tone, the stronger the signal, which indicates how close the object is to the coil. Your unit also has an signal light that will illuminate when the signal strength is strong. By using both the signal light and the signal tone you will be able to discover many amazing things just
below ground.

Detachable LED light

Power the LED light unit on by pressing the light switch. With the light on, you will be able to work your way into darker places to find your treasures. The light can also be handy early in the morning and into the early evening.

• Only use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. To avoid damaging the electronics, do not use any cleaning fluid.
• Protect the device from dust and moisture.
• Remove the batteries from the unit if it is not used for a longer time.
