Chapter 4 MXT 300 Display

Relic MODE;

The Relic MODE also provides 5 different signiﬁ -

cant indications on the display.

1. VDI = number - As with the Coin and Jewelry

mode the relic VDI (Visual Discrimination Indica-

tion) is a reference number dictated mostly by the

metal targets exact alloy, size, and shape. And just

like coins and jewelry, relics can present with simi-

lar VDI numbers for different objects because their

makeup and electrical charasteristics are similar.

Using the reference label below the display one can

see that iron relics are still in the low VDI numbers

and objects like brass buttons and buckles with a

high concentration of non-ferrous metal or alloy

rate higher VDI numbers compared to their size and

purity.

2. Blocks - The MXT 300 Relic mode uses the

same sixteen ﬁ lled in Blocks as Coin and Jewelry

mode to further conﬁ rm, on the reference label, the

connection between the VDI number and software's

best determination of the target identity. The verti-

cal size (one quarter, one half, or the whole block)

tells one how sure the MXT 300 is of the target ID.

Full bar and half bar usually means dig. Quarter

blcoks are uncertain.

3. Labels - In Relic mode you will see target ID

labels in the upper right of the display. The 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.

NOTE: The ﬁ lled in block and the VDI number are
separate opinions by the software and may agree or
disagree.

NOTE: The top
display is a sure
ID. The bottom
display with its
quarter size bar
suggests un-
certain unless
theDepth reading
is 6-12.
