Challenger x-100 by Compass need manual or common settings

[lorac]

Help. I haven't used this Challenger X-100 for 10 years. I put new batteries in and it works but I can't find the manual so I can figure out the settings. Is there a manual online that I can download of can someone tell me the settings for beach, not in the water, coin searching.
Thanks

You might find this of interest and help. It's the Lost Treasure Field Test of the X-100.

I own one of these compass x100 are they any good ? I haven't quite figured it out as of yet. I have gold claims in California just not sure what the heck it tells me.

Thank you I have the manual just slow on the uptake. I think the issue is highly mineral ground. The thing beeps at every thing.

well that technology is very old. You may need a multi-frequency machine in such an area. Turn sensitivity way down. Try various modes but you may find nothing makes any difference. I hunted an a property where coal ashes were spread all over the place. They (larger chips of coal) all registered and sounded off as hot rocks. I took a multi-frequency machine to same place and had no such problem. Same deal with black sand at shore. A multi-frequency machine had no problem with it.

I still have my X-100 but have not used it in 25 years. No idea what the settings were that long ago. It a hip-mounted version - that thing weighed as I recall.

Thank you for the info. It is basically a nostalgia piece. Seems crush and pan works best.

I had one, cannot remember the setting, but I remember finding lots of coins.

yeah I found a lot of coins with mine and loved their depth meter which was very accurate.
