General use.
Similar settings to the XP Gold Maxx Power detector, powerful and fast.
More selective to small targets in iron-infested ground and deeper on
mineralised ground
Responsive pitch that varies in frequency and amplitude according to
the signal’s strength.
Medium speed, particularly eective for large masses and highly conductive
coins.
Pro setting for locating deep targets, with moderate discrimination and
specic signal processing
Wet beaches, although in situ adjustments are needed for the ground
eect, either by pumping or manually adjusting. (pg 13).
Suitable for dry sand.
HOT «The Pro setting» this is a nd everything program,based on the Full
Tone audio mode with a very low discrimination. Hot is a very interactive
program oering excellent feedback and target information.
GOLD FIELD uses another detection method designed for searching
highly mineralised ground which is often where gold nuggets are
found. In these conditions, targets can be seen as ground mineralisa-
tion or ferrous objects, especially when they are deep. To go deeper in
these dicult conditions, the "Gold Field" program uses a true All Metal
mode that allows you to accept a zone of ground that is usually not
available. Instead of rejecting all the ground values below a predened
value (as on conventional detectors), it rejects only the specic value
of ground in which you are searching, which means you have to adjust
precisely.
In this program certain settings are not active or are replaced by the
another specic setting such as:
- The IAR discrimination (Iron Amplitude Rejection): A range of
discrimination that can be applied from 0 to 5. It applies only to targets
that produce strong signals – typically shallow ferrous items. It will
not reject deeper targets which may come across as ferrous when
they are buried in mineralised ground to ensure good targets are not
rejected by mistake.
The digital target display is active, this allows the operator to
work in All Metal mode with a visual recognition (valid on shallow targets).
Discrimination enables undesirable targets to be rejected by raising or lowering a threshold below
which certain metals are dierentiated. The conductivity scale (-6.4 to 99) for metal targets shown
below will help you better understand the discrimination range and its limits.

MENU
Increasing the discrimination value enables you to gradually reject any target whose conductivity is
lower than the setting. For example, if you tune the discrimination level to 10, you will reject iron with
a value of between -6.4 and 10. If you tune it to 40 you will also eliminate small pieces of aluminium
foil whose conductivity is less than 40. If you wish to reject other rubbish with higher conductivity, such
as pull tabs from aluminium drinks cans, lead shot or copper hunting cartridges (whose conductivity is
60-75), you must also be prepared to accept the elimination of certain good metals with similar conduc-
tivity.
Two alternatives involve selecting a low level of discrimination, between 5 and 10, then using either:
- 1/ The digital target display to more or less visually discriminate a target category.
- 2/ The Multi-tone mode to discriminate undesirable targets using a selected audio tone.
In both cases the decision then lies with you on whether or not to dig.
Depending on the frequency setting used, a target’s conductivity
is perceived dierently by the detector. The digital conductivity display
may therefore vary depending on the frequency.
The 0 to 10 range relates to the rejection of iron. To achieve greater
precision in this range there is a digit after the decimal point (from 0 to 9.9).
