I have a Micronata Discovery II metal detector. I thought I knew what I was doing until I had trouble a few weeks ago.
Setting the Controls
The detector is now set to ALL METAL. This setting has the greatest detection level and has no discrimination between different types of metals.
GROUND adjusts detection balances between elements normally found in the ground and metal objects.
Follow these steps to set GROUND.
1. Rotate VOLUME two-thirds of the way toward MAX.
2. Hold the searchcoil at least waist high and rotate GROUND toward NORM.
3. Push and immediately release TUNE. You should barely hear a thresh hold tone.
4. Drop the searchcoil to within' /' inch of the ground. If you correctly set GROUND, the threshold tone should not change significantly. If it does change, either gaining or losing tone, repeat the steps above until you find a setting where the sound does not vary significantly when held from '/, -inch to 1-inch above the ground.
ok, so basic question, should i hear continuous tone when detecting?
