General Hints
Discriminating
When
used
in
the
All-metal Mode
the
METADEC
II
will
detect
all metals and
will
not
discriminate.
However, in
the
Meter and
Audio
Discriminate Modes
the
MET
ADEC
'I
has
been programmed
to
operate at a
fixed
discriminate
setting.
It
is
recommended
that
all objects
that
are
not
rejected should be dug, i.e.
if
the
meter needle does
not
dip
or
the
audio
pitch
is
inconclusive,
dig
the object.
Iron,
unlike
a
coin,
occurs
in
a
multitude
of
shapes and sizes. As a result
it
is
possible
that
large pieces
of
iron
may give a positive reading.
Iron
in
the
shape
of
nails
or
pieces
of
wire
also may be present
on the surface
of
a site.
In
this
case
anomalies
in
discrimination
may occur. Anomalies
or
confusing
signals can
only
occur
in
the
first
few
inches away
from
the
search head, and are characterised
by
a
double
signal
from
the
same
object, usually
iron,
which
often
ranges
from
a strong positive
to
a
strong negative signal.
To
overcome these problems
simply
raise the search head and re-scan
until
a
clear signal
of
rejection
or
acceptance
is
obtained.
Detection
Range
Detection ranges
will
vary depending
on
the size
of
the object, the length
of
time
an
object
has
been
buried. and
the
type
of
ground
the
object
is
buried
in.
The best ground
conditions
are well compacted soils and coins can be
found
at the greatest depths
if
the
object has been buried
for
some
time
and
the
coin
has
interacted
with
the salts
in
the
ground.
