Introduction
Thank you for choosing White’s metal detecting products.
White’s TREASUREmaster® and TREASUREpro are our newest,
lightweight, easy-to-use metal detectors. They are designed
and built with the latest electronics technology, used to locate
metal objects in the ground and provide the user with the infor-
mation to help decide if that object has potential value worth
digging for.
This owner’s manual will provide a good understanding of the
basics. However, there are no substitutes for eld experience.
Practice using your TREASUREmaster® or TREASUREpro and
study this manual further. Before long, you may well be teach-
ing the experts a thing or two.
We’ve been designing, building, and distributing worldwide for
nearly 60 years from our factory in Sweet Home, Oregon, USA.

Assembly
1. Remove all parts from the shipping carton and check assem-
bly diagram to ensure all parts are present.
2. Install black rubber washers on ber lower rod; attach lower
rod onto search coil ears. Use only the nonmetallic washers,
ber bolt, and ber thumbnut to secure search coil loop to the
lower ber rod, only nger tight (do not use tools).
3. Insert lower rod into upper aluminum “S” rod so that the
spring buttons line up with one of the length adjustment holes in
the “S” rod.
4. Wind the search coil cable around the rods, rst revolution
over the top of the rod, all the way to the control box/display.
Plug the cable into the jack on the backside of the display.
Tighten the retainer ring securely.
5. A Velcro arm cup strap has been provided to add leverage
and control to your sweep. One end of this strap folds out to
form a “T” that locks the strap onto one side of the arm cup
slot. The other end is threaded through the slot on the other
side. With your arm in position, fold the strap over onto the Vel-
cro so that the strap is loose enough to pull your arm in and out
of the arm cup.
6. Grip your Treasuremaster by the handle with your arm in the
elbow cup and sweep the search coil over the oor. If the t
feels uncomfortable, adjust the position of the lower ber rod in
a different adjustment hole on the “S” rod, rewind search coil
cable, and test t again. The ideal position allows you to stand
up straight and sweep the search coil over the ground without
stooping over. The length of the lower rod and the position of
the elbow cup can be quickly adjusted to accommodate dif-
ferent users.
7. Install two “AA” batteries noting the (+) & (-) positions marked
inside the battery compartment. Batteries

Batteries
The TREASUREmaster® and TREASUREpro operate for up to 20
hours (without backlight) using two quality “AA” batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment door by gently pushing up
on the battery tabs on the back of the display and hinge open
the battery compartment door.
2. Insert two “AA” batteries, taking note of the correct (+) and
(-) positions marked inside the compartment; close the door
until it snaps shut.
3. High-quality “AA” alkaline batteries are recommended.
Rechargeable NiCad, Nickel Metal Hydride, or other similar
“AA” substitutions work well. Batteries near or above 2 volts per
cell and higher are not recommended.
4. Battery life will change with battery type, operating tem-
perature, and backlight use. Lowering the volume of the built in
speaker or using headphones greatly extends battery life.
Quick Start
1. Press the power ON button. Upon rst power up, the detector
defaults to Coin and Jewelry mode.
2. Sweep the search coil from side to side, keeping it level and
close to the ground. Overlap each search pass by at least 50%.
3. Once a target is detected, indicated by a consistent beep,
sweep several passes and note the display identication and
target depth.
4. If the target indicates dig worthy, press the Pinpoint button
( /X). The pinpoint spot is on an imaginary line through the
center of the search coil. It is important to determine where this
detection line begins and ends on the coil, and then use that
“heel” and “toe” to determine target center.
5. Sweep the target area slowly in an “x” pattern. The strongest
beep and shallowest depth indicates target center.
6. Practice with a visible object above ground, moving back
and forth over the target. You can learn to precisely pinpoint a
target’s center with this “heel-and-toe” method.

Display & Controls
1. Power: ON/OFF. Quick presses of the button toggle Backlight
on and off (TREASUREpro only).
2. (+)/(-): Selects the level or setting of the particular option
selected using the options controls. During normal search (+)
& (-) adjust Sensitivity.
3. /X: Access Pinpoint Mode. Also used for some menu
sequences.
4. Options: Activates option selections. Up & Down arrows
select among available options.
5. Search and detect metals while in the Options mode with
the advantage that the currently selected option can be
adjusted with the (+) & (-) buttons “on-the-y.” Press Options,
select the option you want to adjust on-the-y, and use the
(+) & (-) buttons to adjust that option during searching.

Sensitivity
Used to increase or decrease responsiveness to targets, ground,
and external electrical noise. By nding the highest setting
that performs in your area, maximum depth can be achieved.
Settings 1–8 are available.
Reduced sensitivity is often needed to search bad ground con-
ditions or high electrical activity areas.
When the ground is highly mineralized (typically high iron),
reduced sensitivity settings often increase detection depth.
Finding the level that provides for smooth, stable operation
and easy target identication is important to maximize perfor-
mance. Few areas will allow maximum sensitivity settings.
1. During normal searching, press the (+) button to increase
sensitivity; press the (-) button to decrease it. The Treasuremas-
ters provide quick and convenient up or down sensitivity during
use without accessing Options. The current sensitivity setting
shows briey where the VDI number normally is displayed.
2. Sensitivity adjustment is not featured in the Options, but only
with the (+) or (-) buttons when not in the Options mode.
Program
A program is a complete selection of options
for specic or targeted metal-detecting.
1. Coin & Jewelry- This is the primary search program used for
general-purpose searching. When searching typical soil for
coins, jewelry, or any other precious metals, and trash metal
rejection is needed, Coin & Jewelry is the best choice. Coin
& Jewelry discriminates against (rejects) ferrous (iron) objects
and light foil. Discrimination can be customized in the Coin &
Jewelry mode; see Discrimination.
2. Beach- The Beach program has features built in to ignore
conductive wet or salty soils. Use Beach anytime you are
searching a salt-water beach. And because many fertilizers
are conductive when wet, heavily fertilized farm elds may also
require the Beach mode if they are wet.

3. All Metal—Use the All Metal program to detect all metal
types, including iron/steel. Finding property markers, clearing
nails from a driveway, locating lost tools, relic-hunting when iron
is of interest are examples of when All Metal would be used. All
Metal is a superior search program compared to locking in the
Pinpoint mode, which has electronic aids to help pinpoint that
are not ideal for general searching. All Metal does have a VCO
audio so target size and strength inuences the audio.
Pinpoint Mode
Once the choice has been made to dig, press the /X button
to accesses the Pinpoint Mode. Pinpoint is different compared
to an All Metal mode in that special features are activated to
aid in target centering. Pinpoint Mode is not recommended for
general searching.
High Trash (TREASUREpro Only)
Some areas (especially public areas) have high concentrations
of trash. To productively search high trash areas requires a high-
er degree of Discrimination (trash rejection). If trash becomes
an issue using one of the other programs, try High Trash.
To select a Program:
1. Press Options and use the Up & Down arrows to highlight
the desired Program on the display.
2. Press (+) / (-) to select the highlighted Program.
Press Option again to return to normal searching.
Restore to Factory Settings
TREASUREmaster® - Power on the detector while holding down
the Options button until “Fd” appears in the VDI area.
TREASUREpro- Navigate to the RESET command in the menu
and press the Pinpoint button.

Discrimination
The Treasuremasters have the ability to accept or reject metal
types based on their conductivity and/or electrical phase.
Target conductivity/phase is indicated on the display VDI scale
(Visual Discrimination Indication) with a VDI reference number.
By learning what targets consistently indicate specic VDI num-
bers, you can be sure to accept or reject the different target
VDI ranges that interest you.
Many types of targets share similar VDI number ranges. For
example gold jewelry of varied sizes/ types shares the same
VDI number range as aluminum of varied sizes/types. Deeper
depths suggest the target being heavier gold; shallow depth
indications suggest the target being lighter-weight aluminum.
However, to nd all the gold jewelry, digging lead, pull tabs
and screw caps is to be expected.
Non-target metals (iron) often produce some beep, different
from an accepted good target. In most cases, iron will produce
a broken or inconsistent tone whereas an accepted good
target produces a more consistent beep. The display can help,
but an inconsistent tone is most likely a rejected target. If you
have trouble recognizing these inconsistent beeps and displays,
nd the sweep speed that enhances the rejection sound to the
point you can recognize it, compared to the sound of a good
target. Accuracy is greatly increased sweeping the center
of the target. Pinpoint (press /X) and “x” the area with the
“heel-and-toe” method from Quick Start (strongest beep and
shallowest depth indicate center), return to Discrimination
(press /X again), then pass the search coil over target center
and note the sound and display indication.
When a metal target doesn’t indicate as expected, peculiari-
ties within that metal’s alloy mix (metal types) are usually to
blame. For example, as steel bottle caps age, the iron dete-
riorates and the better (non-iron) alloys remain and become
prominent. Very old bottle caps are likely to indicate as a
quarter. The longer they are in the ground, the more the iron
dissolves and the stronger/better the non-iron looks to a metal
detector.
