By adjusting the DISCRIMINATION control you will be able to
ignore (or “reject”) small pieces of metallic trash and ground
minerals while detecting valuable targets. The lowest setting at
which an object is rejected is referred to as the object’s
“discrimination point”. Discrimination points are determined by
such factors as size, shape, depth, type of metal and ground
mineralization.
1. Scatter some sample targets such as coins, pull
tabs and small pieces of foil on the ground 1 to 2
feet apart.
2. Turn the SENSITIVITY control to 9.*
3. Turn the DISCRIMINATION control to zero.
4. Put the headset on and turn the POWER ON-OFF/
VOLUME control to about 6.
5. Hold the search coil about 2 inches above and
parallel to the ground. Move it slowly over the
samples and note the sharp loud response as you
pass over each one. Keep in mind that the 1280-X
is a motion detector and responds only when the
search coil (or the target) is moving.
6. Increase the DISCRIMINATION control to a
setting of 3 and again pass over the targets.
Repeat this process at settings of 4,5,6 and so on to
10. You will note that as you increase the level of
discrimination, the 1280-X will reject some targets
and continue to respond to others. You have now
determined the discrimination points for the
rejected objects. For example, the small nail
discrimination point may be at 4 and the pull tab
discrimination point at 6.
7. Some objects such as shallow bottle caps, bent
pull tabs or trash less than 2 inches from the coil
may be difficult to reject. The 1280-X will instead
respond with a strong broken signal which will
usually disappear if the search coil is raised slightly.
(The strong signal of a good target will just get
weaker when the coil is raised.)
8. The 1280-X will remain silent when some objects
