Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your metal detector for use:
- Attach the Search Coil: Securely connect the waterproof Dual-D coil to the lower shaft.
- Assemble the Shaft: Connect the lower, middle, and upper shafts. Ensure the cables are properly routed and secured around the shaft.
- Adjust Shaft Length: Use the quick-release lever and locking mechanism on the adjustable shaft to set the desired length (from 19 inches to 51 inches) for comfortable operation. Ensure it is securely locked before use.
- Attach the Control Unit: Mount the control unit to the upper shaft.
- Connect Headphones: If using headphones, plug them into the 1/8 inch earphone jack on the control unit.
- Charge the Battery: Before first use, fully charge the built-in 1500mAh rechargeable battery using the provided charging cable. The battery provides up to 10 hours of runtime.
Operating Modes
The EXPLORER X III offers five professional detection modes to suit various treasure hunting needs:
- All Metal Mode: Detects all types of metals with maximum sensitivity. Ideal for general searching when you want to find everything.
- Notch Mode: Allows you to filter out unwanted targets, such as iron and foil, by discriminating specific metal types. This helps focus on more valuable finds.
- Jewelry Mode: Optimized for finding precious metals like gold and silver, often used to ignore common trash items.
- Memory Mode: Retains your last detection settings for consistent results across multiple sessions or when returning to a previously searched area.
- Pinpoint (PP) Mode: A non-motion mode used to accurately locate the exact position and depth of a detected target, making digging more efficient.
Basic Operation
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button on the control unit to turn the detector on or off.
- Mode Selection: Use the mode buttons on the control unit to switch between the five detection modes.
- Sensitivity Control: Adjust the sensitivity (5 grades, 0-99 double digits) to optimize detection depth and reduce false signals. Higher sensitivity increases depth but can also pick up more interference.
- Volume Control: Adjust the audio volume (3 grades) to a comfortable level.
- LCD Backlight: The monochrome LCD features a backlight for use in low-light conditions.
- Battery Indication: The display shows a 4-grade battery indicator. Recharge the battery when it is low.
- Automatic Shutdown: The machine will automatically shut down after approximately 15 minutes of inactivity, emitting a shutdown prompt tone.
- Coin Depth Indication: The display provides an indication of coin depth at 2", 4", 6", 8", and '+'.
- Target Metals Discrimination: The detector can discriminate between 7 kinds of target metals.
- Signal Strength Indication: A 5-grade indicator shows the strength of the detected signal.
- Sound Frequency: 3 kinds of frequencies indicate different metals.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the detector with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- Search Coil: The search coil is waterproof up to 3.3 feet (1 meter) and can be rinsed with fresh water. Ensure the control unit is not submerged unless explicitly stated as waterproof.
- Rain Cover: Use the included rain cover to protect the control unit from rain and dust during operation in adverse weather conditions.
- Battery Care: Recharge the battery regularly. For long-term storage, charge the battery to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.
- Storage: Store the detector in a dry, safe place away from extreme temperatures. The telescopic shaft can be retracted for compact storage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your metal detector, consider the following common solutions:
- No Power: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check the charging cable and adapter.
- False Signals/Chatter: Reduce sensitivity settings. Move away from sources of electromagnetic interference (power lines, other electronics). Ensure the search coil cable is tightly wound around the shaft.
- No Detection: Verify the detector is in an appropriate mode (e.g., All Metal). Check sensitivity settings. Ensure the search coil is properly connected.
- Inaccurate Pinpointing: Practice sweeping the coil slowly and precisely over the target area in Pinpoint mode.
- Display Issues: If the LCD is dim, check battery level. If unresponsive, try restarting the device.

User Tips
- Ground Balance: Take advantage of the advanced ground balance feature, especially in mineralized soils, to minimize false signals and improve detection accuracy.
- Practice with Known Targets: Before heading out, practice with known metal objects (coins, jewelry) in different soil conditions to get familiar with the detector's responses and audio tones.
- Sweep Slowly: Always sweep the search coil slowly and steadily, overlapping each sweep slightly to ensure thorough coverage of the area.
- Use Headphones: Using headphones can help you hear subtle target signals that might be missed in noisy environments, improving your detection rate.
- Adjust Sensitivity: If you experience excessive chatter or false signals, try lowering the sensitivity. In very clean ground, you can increase sensitivity for greater depth.
- Conserve Battery: Utilize the automatic shutdown feature and turn off the backlight when not needed to extend battery life during long hunting sessions.
