grounds of an abandoned palace. Precious metals lurk beneath the surface of the ground just about any-
where you walk. You starting point for finding them could be a metal detector! Metal detecting is a great
hobby for adventurers of all ages. With one of these devices, you can unearth things as different as metal
coins, jewelry, and horseshoes. Clean and study what you find to learn more about the history of the place
you're searching.
• Did you dig up a horseshoe?
The soil you're searching could be the site of a former farm or even a military barracks.
• Did you find a coin?
Check its date. If the coin is especially old it may be worth more than its face value. For example, any U.S.
dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar coin dated 1964 or earlier is made up of 90 percent silver - which means
it is worth more!
• Did you discover a piece of jewelry?
It can be difficult to determine the value of a piece of jewelry at a glance, but researching what you've found
can be rewarding both financially and mentally. Whether a ring, earing, or necklace, every piece of jewelry
has a story. Figuring out what it is can be lots of fun.
The more objects you find the more you will learn about.
When to use your metal detector:
A great time to go metal detecting is right after a heavy rain, when the ground is soft. Wet ground conducts
electricity better than dry ground, so you will have a better chance of locating buried objects than you would
walking on dry ground.
This metal detector's detection coil is water resistant, and it can be used in shallow water after a rain.
However, it is recommended that you do not submerge the unit for extended time periods.
Places to search:
1. The beach is a great place to start because you get few competing signals on a sandy beach and it will
be easier to dig there.
2. Under trees where people may have sat to rest.
3. At the homes of your relatives--especially those who live in older homes.
4. Your own front and backyards.
5. Areas where historic battles occurred. Take care to ask for permission first because you may not be able
to remove objects from these locations. CAUTION: Please note that this metal detector is not designed
for any military or disarming use.
Rules of metal detecting and digging:
1. Some parks and public land prohibit metal detecting and digging. Always check first.
2. Always ask for permission from the property owner before entering private property.
3. Be responsible and cover the holes that you dig.
Using your metal detector:
Before powering on the device position the metal detector so the search coil is away from any metal ob-
jects. Then turn the unit on by moving the toggle on the device away from you. You will see a green light
showing the power is turned on. Your unit is self-calibrated and needs no further adjustment. Your metal
detector is ready to be used in the most sensitive detection setting.
