If detecting areas of extremely variable mineralisation detect along the ground contours rather than across them This will often reduce false signals from the rapid change in mineralisation Pinpointing Pinpointing narrows down the location of a buried target allowing you to determine its exact location before digging GPZ Super D Coil Previously Minelab gold detection coils have been available in two configurations Double D and Monoloop The GPZ 14 coil has a new configuration called Super D Double D A Double D coil has two overlapping wire windings in the shape of two DS The benefits of a Double D coil are Stability especially in heavily mineralised ground good depth sensitivity and a very thorough search pattern requiring less swing overlap Monoloop Monoloop coils have one winding of wire around the circumference of the coil which is used to both transmit and receive The signal pattern is cone shaped requiring more swing overlapping In severely mineralised ground they can be more difficult to ground balance but tend to achieve greater depth and are more sensitive than Double D coils Super D The Super D coil consists of one middle transmit winding and two outer receive windings which essentially form the equivalent of 2 symmetric Double D coils one on the left and one on the right This Super D configuration means that targets close to the coils surface produce a double response as

Keypad The detector will make a sound whenever buttons on the keypad are pressed A valid button press makes a short high pitched bip sound an invalid button press makes a long low pitched ba dump sound Threshold The constant background hum produced by the detector is called the Threshold Variations in the Threshold allow you to hear very small and deep targets This is also used to help distinguish between desired and undesired targets Refer to the Detect Plus section page 25 for information on how to correctly adjust the threshold level and pitch Targets When the coil is moved over a gold target or other metal object an audio signal is the sound produced by the detector Large targets or targets close to the ground Surface emit louder sound than smaller targets or deeply buried targets Targets very near to the surface may produce a double target response Overload Very large metal objects close to the coil may overload the detector electronics If this happens the detector displays an overload message and plays an alert sound until the coil is moved away from the source of the overload Overloading is not harmful to the electronics of the detector 50 Electrical Noise The detector may produce false signals Noise when the coil is held motionless or in the air These signals are electromagnetic interference EMI You can minimise false signals by performing a Noise Cancel page 22 or by reducing
