Adjusting Sensitivity

The sensitivity setting determines the detector's ability to detect metal objects.

Experiment with different sensitivity levels to find the optimal setting for your metal detecting needs.

Setting Discrimination

The discrimination feature allows you to filter out specific types of metal targets. By adjusting the discrimination level, you can ignore unwanted objects such as nails or bottle caps while focusing on valuable items. Use the discrimination button to set the desired discrimination level based on your preferences and the type of metal you are targeting.

Understanding Audio Tones

The Sharpshooter 2 Metal Detector uses audio tones to indicate the presence of metal objects. Different tones are assigned to different types of targets, helping you identify the nature of the detected object. Refer to the user manual for a detailed explanation of the audio tones and their corresponding targets.

Operating Modes

All Metal Mode

The All Metal Mode is the default operating mode of the Sharpshooter 2 Metal Detector. In this mode, the detector detects all types of metal objects without any discrimination. It is ideal for general-purpose metal detecting and can help you uncover a wide range of targets.

Discrimination Mode

The Discrimination Mode allows you to filter out unwanted targets based on their conductivity. By adjusting the discrimination level, you can ignore low-value targets while focusing on valuable metals. This mode is particularly useful in areas with high trash content.

Pinpoint Mode

The Pinpoint Mode helps you precisely locate the target within the search area. When you detect a target, switch to the Pinpoint Mode and slowly move the detector over the target. The detector will emit a stronger signal when directly above the target, allowing you to pinpoint its exact location.

Advanced Features

Ground Balance Adjustment

The Ground Balance Adjustment feature allows you to compensate for mineralized soil conditions that can interfere with target detection. Follow the instructions in the user manual to perform the ground balance adjustment for optimal performance in different environments.

Target Depth Indicator

The Target Depth Indicator provides an estimate of the depth at which a detected target is buried. This feature helps you determine whether the target is within reach or requires more extensive digging. Pay attention to the depth indicator to gauge the effort required for target recovery.

Backlight and Contrast Settings

The Sharpshooter 2 Metal Detector is equipped with a backlight for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Use the backlight button to activate the backlight when needed. Additionally, you can adjust the contrast settings to optimize the display visibility based on your preferences.

When using the Sharpshooter 2 Metal Detector, maintain a smooth and consistent swing motion. Avoid swinging too fast or too slow, as it can affect the detector's ability to accurately detect targets. Practice a comfortable and controlled swing technique to maximize your chances of finding valuable items.

Identifying Common Targets

Understanding the characteristics of common targets can greatly enhance your metal detecting experience. Study the user manual to familiarize yourself with the typical signals and responses for different types of metals. This knowledge will help you distinguish between trash and valuable targets more effectively.

Search Patterns

Experiment with different search patterns to cover a larger area and increase your chances of finding targets. Popular search patterns include grid patterns, spiral patterns, and zigzag patterns. Vary your search patterns to ensure comprehensive coverage and avoid missing potential targets.
