Notch filter discrimination is the ability of a metal detector to select which of the conductivity segments in the discrimination scale are active or disabled. If a segment is notched out then meta...

Variable Discrimination Explained
This is the most basic of discrimination types. It works like a demarcation line in the conductivity level. This level can be set by the operator and all metals with conductivity lower than where t...
Continue ReadingMetal Detector Discrimination Explained
Metal detector discrimination refers to the ability of the detector to identify the type of metal object detected and to eliminate the unwanted items and indicate only on the desirable ones.

Pre-set ground balance is preset to suit a particular soil type. This limits where the detector is able to be used, but will generally work well in less mineralised sites such as parks, playgrounds...

RCB Receive Coil Boost circuitry amplifies weak target signals inside the coil, reducing noise and boosting faint, deep objects that other detectors leave behind. RCB technology can be found in Min...

SETA is an acronym for Smart Electronic Timing Alignment. SETA technology enables a detector with multiple timings to align to each timing independently. This results in improved sensitivity and de...

Ground tracking refers to the ability of the detector to track changes in ground mineralisation and automatically adjust the ground balance to suit. This ensures perfect ground balance and maximum ...
