How to Use It?
Using the Fisher F44 Weatherproof Metal Detector is simple and straightforward. Here are the basic steps to get started:
Assemble the metal detector: Put the stem and control box together and connect the headphones (if you are using them).
Adjust the length: Make sure the stem is the right length for you. You should be able to comfortably swing the detector without straining.
Choose the right search mode: The Fisher F44 has three search modes: Coin, Jewelry, and Artifact. Choose the one that best matches what you're searching for.
Adjust the sensitivity: Turn the sensitivity dial until you hear a steady, even tone. This will help you avoid false signals from trash.
Start searching: Turn on the detector and start searching. Swing the search coil back and forth slowly, making sure to overlap each pass. If the metal detector detects metal, it will emit a tone. The volume and pitch of the tone will change based on the type and size of metal.
Dig and recover the target: When you hear a signal, use your digging tool to carefully remove the soil and uncover the target. Check the target to determine if it's worth keeping.
Repeat the process: Continue searching until you've covered the area you want to search or until you find what you're looking for.
