VLF TREASURE DETECTOR

Owner’s Manual

I. ASSEMBLY:

To assemble your VLF Treasure Detector,

follow this simple procedure:

1) Unpack your detector and find the following parts:

• Detector Body with armrest, search coil and attached coil knob.

• Upper Stem (thicker silver rod with many holes)

• Lower Stem (thinner silver rod with plastic extension and button)

• Two (2) stem attachment knobs (in the plastic bag)

I. ASSEMBLY: (continued)

2) Attach the Upper Stem to the back of the

detector body with the two knobs supplied.

3) Depress the button on the lower stem and

push the lower stem into the upper stem.

4) Wind the search coil cable around the

two-piece stem.

5) Leave some slack

in the cable as

you reach the

end of the lower

stem.

6) Attach the coil to

the lower stem

using the attached

coil knob.

7) Install two (2) 9-volt

ALKALINE batteries (not

supplied). There are two

battery doors on the back of

the detector body.

IMPORTANT: Use 9-volt ALKALINE

batteries ONLY.

II. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Stand with the detector in one hand, with the coil on

the ground, a few feet in front of you. If the stem is not

set a a comfortable height, push the button on the low

rod to change the length. If you make a large

adjustment, wrap the cable again, starting at the top.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the cable where it

connects to the detector body. It is

permanently attached; to much force

could damage the connection.

III. FIND TREASURE!

Your Treasure Detector will detect all kinds of metal

from iron relics, to coins and household items, to

precious metals like gold and silver.

IV. TREASURE METER

Your meter moves when metal is detected. it shows the

strength of the signal and helps with pinpointing the object.

Watch for the location where the meter jumps strongly to

the right; that’s where the target is.

V. AIR TESTING

You can test your detector by passing coins over the

search coil. Remember that coins found on the ground will

lie flat; so pass the coins parallel to the search coil for

optimum results.

CAUTION: There is metal in the floors, ceilings, walls and

counters of most homes. There is metal in tables. Keep the

detector away from metal. Do not attempt to place coins on

the floor of your home or apartment; the metal in the floor

will interfere with the signal.

It is best to have a friend hold the detector body, with the

search coil suspend in the air, while you pass the coins.

If you turn the detector on and turn the Trash Eliminator

switch fully clockwise (to the right), you will hear different

tones. Pass a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, nail,

screwdriver and pull-tab. Notice the different sounds, or no

sound at all! Turn the Trash Eliminator to many different

settings, and sometimes notice different tones for the same

object.

• TRASH ELIMINATOR

(the right knob)

OFF Position

In this position, all

different metals will be

detected.

One tone will sound for

all types of metal.

VI. TUNING and GROUND BALANCING

Forget it!

With your VLF Treasure Detector, it’s automatic.

Be it hard ground, a sandy beach, rocks, or the black sand terrains

common to gold prospecting locations, your VLF adjust itself to tune

out naturally occurring mineral deposits, and only detect the metal

objects you are looking for.

VII.CONTROLS

• POWER/SENSITIVITY

(the left knob)

The detector is off in the full counter-clockwise position (to the left).

Turn it on with a click to the right. The further clockwise, the higher the

sensitivity. If you get static or noise, then lower the sensitivity a bit.

• TRASH ELIMINATOR

Applications:

1) Relic Hunting: Historical objects are usually made

of iron. Keep the Trash Eliminator turned off for

best detection of relics.

2) Household Applications: Find property markers,

lost keys, etc.

3) Gold Prospecting: Did you know that only 1% of

the world’s gold supply has been mined? The

other 99% is still out there waiting for you to find it!

ON Position

Click on to cause your detector to emit different sounds for

different types of metals.

Turn the knob clockwise (to the right) to eliminate more trash

items.

• TRASH ELIMINATOR (continued)

Applications:

1) Coin-shooting

2) Jewelry-Hunting

• Small iron objects, like nails, will not be detected.

• Trash items, like pull-tabs, will be identified with a

broken tone.

• Silver and copper items (like some coins), will be

identified with a high tone.

CAUTION: some metal objects have a metallic

signature very similar to trash.

A nickel can sound very similar to a pull-tab. At different Trash

Elimination settings, you can sometimes notice a slight tone difference

• TRASH ELIMINATOR (continued)

between the two. There are several different types of pull-tabs and

bottle caps. It takes practice to notice the difference.

Gold rings are almost impossible to distinguish from many pull-tabs. If

you’re looking for gold rings, get used to digging. You’ll kiss a lot of

frogs before you find your first prince. Perseverance furthers!

Be Environmentally Conscious and

Respect Other’s Property

• Use small digging tools. (a garden spade is preferable to a coal shovel.)

• Fill in holes.

• Obtain permission before hunting on private or government property.

USING HEADPHONES

Using headphones (not supplied) improves battery life, and prevents the

sounds from annoying bystanders.

It also allows you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly, particularly

if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use headphones

near traffic or where other dangers are present. This device is to be used with

interconnecting cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.
