ENTER touchpad to activate the GROUND GRAB Ground Balance unction e Lower the coil to the ground and raise it back up several times until you receive the message GRAB OK f you receive the GRAB ER message either repeat the process or try a different ocation as there may be metal or some other problem at the spot you initially attempted to calibrate the coil to the ground conditions with the GROUND GRAB Ground Balance function Remember optimal performance of your detector will depend on its proper calibration through the use of the GROUND GRAB Ground Balance function It is recommended that you occasionally repeat the process to ensure that changes in ground conditions are being compensated for as conditions can change even at the same location 2 DISCRIMINATION A metal detector by its design locates all metals however it is not possible to recover every piece of metal in a given site The DISCRIMINATION mode is the one that is used for actual searching and allows you to select what targets will be accepted or rejected You can adjust the level of rejection from none all metal objects will produce a response to a level at which most unwanted targets will be rejected silver coins silver jewelry and similar targets will produce a response Sweep speed can affect the ability of the detector to accurately identify and discriminate targets Sweeping too slow can impact detection depth and discrimination capabilities of you

S and then the JEWELRY mode and repeat the test Note which targets are rejected by the detector in each of the modes The CUSTOM mode allow you to select which of the eight segments are accepted or rejected and is very useful when you find yourself bothered by a specific piece of trash and want to ignore it Make a record of what your test results show so that you can refer back to them if you have questions in the field on actual targets Many successful treasure hunters take the bench testing concept to the next level and construct a test garden in their yard By burying a range of targets you can see how ground impacts signal response and practice pinpointing targets which will improve your recovery rate in the field Bury several items at depths of 2 to 4 inches Place them at least 18 inches apart so that you are not detecting more than one target at the same time Mark the location of each target golf tees work well for this so that you know where each item was buried NOTE Freshly buried targets will be harder to detect than those that have been buried for years Take the time to see the impact different settings i e Sensitivity Volume and Discrimination as well as the coil sweep speed have on the response you receive from the various targets 2 Let s Find Something So you have spent some time getting familiar with your new Treasure Commander TC2X detector and are ready to head out and see what you can discover Let s
