3. Text/Labels - In Relic mode you will see target ID la-
bels in the upper right of the display. The text labels are Hot
Rock, IRON, BUTTON, BULLET and BUCKLE. Obviously
there are many more relic items possible. Just keep your
imagination open for what possible objects were produced in
metal and how they might compare in size and alloy to the
ones mentioned above.
4. Depth Indication - Trigger (on handgrip) squeezed
and held, the display indicates the depth of coin-sized met-
als. Just as in the Coin and Jewelry mode, Depth not only
tells you how deep the target is but combined with the block
reading and target label on the right side of the display it
can indicate if the item is worth digging. A 6-12 Depth and
any size Block indication means dig. Shallower targets and
a quarter or half size block suggests trash. This is because
the older, heavier, more desirable targets, settle deeper into
undisturbed ground. The shallower Depth readings typically
have fuller Blocks to warrant digging. Again Small pinpoint
= small target. Relatively larger pinpoint = larger target.
Elongated pinpoint = elongated target. The exception is that
a large target that is very deep will tend to provide a small
pinpoint area as well as an inaccurate shallow depth indica-
tion. Use this to your advantage; a shallow depth indication
(0-1 inch), having dug six inches and not found the target, is
a larger deeper target.
NOTE: Before squeez-
ing the trigger, the
quarter Block read-
ing is questionable.
A depth reading can
help you decide to dig
or not.
A depth of 5
suggests you
should dig.
NOTE: Please refer to page 29 for the proper “X” ing
technique to “pinpoint” the exact center of the target.
