True Track Manual - Great Lakes Metal Detecting

IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUESTOUCHPAD CONTROL OPERATIONThe True Track is a very sensitive and deep-seeking detector. It willloudly respond to many targets that other detectors would only emita weak signal for. Because of this, trash-induced signals and othersources of interference may emit signals that seem confusing. Themain key to handling these types of false signaling is to dig only thosetargets that emit a strong repeatable signal. As you sweep thesearch coil back and forth over the ground, learn to recognize thedifference between the signals that occur at random and signalsthat are stable and repeatable.When searching very trashy ground, it is best to scan small areaswith slow, short overlapping sweeps.COIL MOVEMENT: When swinging the coil, be careful to keep itlevel with the ground about one to two inches from the surface.Never swing the coil as if it was a pendulum.WRONGALL METALPRESS TO SELECT TARGET MODEDI SCNOTCHALL METAL: By pressing the “All Metal” touchpad, the unit willthen respond to all types of metal without any discrimination.The detector will still require motion to detect a target in thismode of operation.DISC: After pressing this touchpad, the detector will automaticallyreject iron and can then be adjusted by the DISC/NOTCHcontrol for increased discrimination. By turning the DISC/NOTCH control clockwise the detector will eliminate most trashitems such as foil and aluminum while still detecting silver andcopper—depending on how high it is set. Most gold and nickelswill also be eliminated if tuning the DISC/NOTCH controlclockwise for higher discrimination. When the DISC/NOTCHcontrol is placed fully counterclockwise (Low), the detector willpick up all nickels and gold rings along with pull tabs andcopper/silver coins, but still reject iron.RIGHT14 7
