2. Search Modes
The A.T. Gold offers three primary search modes to optimize detection for different conditions and target types:
- True All Metal Mode: Provides the greatest depth and sensitivity for all metal types. This mode is highly recommended for gold prospecting as it does not discriminate against any metal.
- Discrimination Modes (DISC 1, DISC 2): These modes allow you to eliminate unwanted trash targets (like iron) while still detecting valuable items. Adjust the discrimination settings based on your search environment.
3. Ground Balance Window
The exclusive Ground Balance Window feature allows for manual and automatic ground balancing, crucial for handling varying soil conditions, especially in mineralized ground common in gold-bearing areas. Refer to the display for ground balance readings and adjust as needed for stable operation.
4. Iron Audio Feature
This feature audibly identifies iron targets, allowing you to distinguish between valuable targets and junk iron before digging. This saves time and effort, particularly in areas with high iron contamination.
5. Pinpoint Mode
Activate Pinpoint mode to precisely locate the exact position of a detected target. This helps in minimizing the size of your excavation and protecting the target from damage.
6. Sensitivity and Threshold
Ayarla Hassasiyet to control the detector's depth and responsiveness. Higher sensitivity settings can detect smaller or deeper targets but may also pick up more ground noise. The Eşik control allows you to set a continuous background hum, which can help in hearing faint target signals.
7. Su Geçirmezlik Özelliği
The Garrett A.T. Gold is fully submersible up to 10 feet (3 meters). This makes it suitable for detecting in shallow water, rivers, lakes, and wet beach environments. Ensure all connections are secure and the battery compartment is properly sealed before submerging the detector.
