IRON DISCRIMINATION

IRON SWITCH

In general, when searching in wet salt water beach sand, the most ideal settings are the maximum level of the iron discrimination,

iron switch off and mineral 2 or 3 modes. You can also use these settings when searching in wet plowed land with high iron effect.
2) It enables metals containing iron to produce a low tone and to be discriminated more easily. Discrimination starts at about

level 4 - 6. Below this level, all metals including iron will produce a non-ferrous (high) tone and generally speaking the device will

perform at its maximum depth. In addition, iron switch will not be active below this level.

This setting is designed for tough ground conditions and experienced users. For normal

ground conditions or if you do not want to bother with this setting it is recommended that

you keep it at the factory setting (FS).
This setting has 2 main purposes:
1) Especially in areas of high iron mineralization and wet beach sand you may not be able to

ground balance the device. In such a case, you can use iron discrimination. By turning the iron

discrimination knob to the right, you can enable the ground effect to be reflected as iron and

eliminate it by turning the iron switch off.

When you want to avoid detecting ferrous metals you can turn the iron switch off and enable

the device to eliminate these metals and not produce a warning tone.

NOTE: Many metals considered to be trash may not produce a ferrous metal signal. For

example, pull tabs may be sensed as a non-ferrous metal by most detectors because their

signal is very similar to that of gold.
