Detection Modes

The detector offers 5 versatile detection modes:

• A-M (All-Metal) Mode: Detects all types of metals. Ideal for general searching when you want to find anything metallic.
• DISC (Discrimination) Mode: Filters out unwanted metals. You can adjust the discrimination level to ignore certain types of trash metals.
• JEWELRY Mode: Specifically filters out iron and detects most jewelry metals.
• MEMORY Mode: Detects only the metals you have memorized. Useful for repeatedly searching for specific target types.
• PP (Pinpoint) Mode: Helps to precisely locate the target once a signal is detected, narrowing down the exact position of the buried object.

Detection Tips

• Sweep Properly: Hold the search coil parallel to the ground and sweep it slowly from side to side.
• Avoid Interference: Keep the search coil away from large metal objects or strong electromagnetic fields to prevent false signals.
• Adjust Sensitivity: Adjust the sensitivity setting based on the ground conditions. Lower sensitivity for highly mineralized ground, higher for clear ground.
• Use Headphones: Headphones help you hear subtle target signals, especially in noisy environments.

Important tips for effective metal detection: avoid magnetic interference and detect parallel to the ground.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your metal detector and ensure consistent performance:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the search coil and pole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Waterproof Coil: The 11-inch search coil is IP68 waterproof and can be used in shallow water. However, the control box is NOT waterproof. Avoid submerging the control box.
• Battery Care: Remove batteries if the detector will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Storage: Store the detector in a cool, dry place. Use the included backpack for convenient and protected storage when not in use.

The 11-inch waterproof search coil (IP68 rated) can be used in water up to 1 meter deep. Note: The control box is not waterproof.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Flysocks Metal Detector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power: Check if batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge. Replace with new batteries if necessary.
• No Detection/Weak Signal: Ensure the search coil is properly connected. Adjust sensitivity settings. Check for nearby large metal objects or electromagnetic interference.
• False Signals: This can be caused by highly mineralized ground, electromagnetic interference, or nearby metal objects. Try lowering the sensitivity or adjusting the discrimination mode.
• Inaccurate Pinpointing: Ensure you are in Pinpoint mode. Sweep slowly and in a cross-pattern to narrow down the target location.
