TARGET DEPTH
The device provides an estimated target depth according to the signal strength both
during detection and in the pinpoint mode.
Depth Indicator: It shows the target's proximity to the surface in 5 levels during detection.
Because each mode of the Gold Kruzer has different depth, the depth indicator will display
a different depth level for the same target in different modes.
In the pinpoint mode, estimated target depth is shown on the display in cms (or inches -
please see below for details) while getting closer to the target.
Depth detection is adjusted presuming that the target is 2.5cm (1'') in diameter. Actual
depth varies according to the size of the target. For instance, the detector will indicate more
depth for a target smaller than 2.5cm (1'') and less depth for a larger target. In reality,
pinpoint procedure is not intended for depth determination but exact location
determination. Therefore, it is recommended that the depth indicator on the display is used
for determining the proximity to the target.
IMPORTANT! If you want the target depth to be displayed in inches instead of cms please
do the following: While the device is off, press and hold the SETTINGS/OPTIONS and
BOOST buttons simultaneously and turn the device on. ''In'' will be displayed. To switch
back to cms, you need to turn the device off and then repeat the above procedure. While
the device is initializing, ''SI'' will be displayed.
LARGE OR NEAR-SURFACE TARGETS
Targets which are near the surface may give multiple different signals to the device. If you
suspect a target near the surface, lift the search coil and swing it more slowly until a single
signal is received. Also, if there is a large target near the surface it may cause an overload in
the search coil and the device starts to generate a continuous sound which resembles a
siren. Overload message is shown on the display simultaneously. In such a case, lift the
search coil up until the message disappears.
FALSE SIGNALS AND REASONS
Sometimes, the device may produce signals which are similar to a target signal although no
metal target is present. There are various reasons for the false signals received by the
device. The most common ones are ground mineralization or rocks with high mineral
content, surrounding electromagnetic signals, operation of another nearby detector,
rusted or corroded iron or foil in the soil, gain or threshold values set too high.
Surrounding electromagnetic signals can be eliminated by reducing the gain. If another
detector is operating nearby, you may attempt to shift the frequency or perform your search
at a distance where no interference occurs. For ground mineralization or hot rocks with high
mineral content, and gain and threshold set too high, please read the related sections.
MAGNETIC MINERALIZATION INDICATOR
The Magnetic Mineralization Indicator consists of 5 levels. The indicator bars do not rise at
low mineral levels during search and at start up. In areas where the magnetic mineral level
is high, the indicator bars will rise according to the intensity. This measurement can be
summarized as the level of magnetic property and intensity of the ground.
This measurement is important from two aspects. First, on grounds with high magnetic
mineralization, search depth is low and users should be aware of this fact. Second,
magnetic mineralization is a property which is particularly seen with mineralized rocks and
this measurement plays an important role for the device to eliminate the false signals
produced by these rocks.
ROCKS AND SEARCHING IN ROCKY TERRAINS (GENERAL MODE AND OTHERS)
Challenging ground conditions arise especially when conductivity and magnetic
properties of the ground are too intense. Operation of the device over such ground is made
possible by selecting the best operating mode as well as using proper ground balance,
gain, iSAT, iMASK and threshold settings.
Stones and rocks or cavities inside the ground are as important as the ground itself in
regards to the search and target detection quality.
Soil and rocks have two different properties just like the targets you are searching for. One
of them is the intensity and the other one is the conductivity - magnetic permeability ratio
and these two properties are independent from each other. In this manual, the
conductivity - magnetic permeability ratio will be referred to as ID in short. High magnetic
permeability, low conductivity results in low ID. Soil or rocks can be highly permeable and
have low or high IDs as well. If the conductivity increases relative to magnetic permeability
then the ID will also increase.
Hot rocks are classified as negative or positive based on their ID being low or high in
comparison to the ID of the soil they are in. One or both of the types may be present in a
field. The negative and positive effects mentioned here will only be valid if ground
balancing is properly done on the existing ground. Otherwise, soil itself will not act
differently from hot rocks in terms of ID. In ''TRACKING'' however, conditions will differ.
Therefore, the effects of rocks in tracking will be discussed separately. Here we are referring
to a proper ground balance without tracking.
Positive hot rocks act just like metal and produce a metal sound. In the General Search
Mode (GEN) they produce a zip zip sound when the search coil is moved over them. If the
signal is strong enough, the device may produce an ID for these hot rocks and the Mineral
Bar will rise. Negative hot rocks in the General Search mode, produce a long boing sound
when the search coil is moved over them. The device does not give an ID for these hot rocks
even if the signal is strong but the Mineral Bar will rise.
Positive hot rocks provide a typical metal sound in the other modes. Negative hot rocks do
not provide a sound in these modes (except for rare cases of false signals). The Mineral Bar
will rise in either case.
At higher settings of iSAT, there will be no change in the sounds of positive or negative hot
rocks. As the iSAT value is decreased, the sound of positive hot rocks will remain the same
but the negative hot rocks may give a thinner beep sound instead of the boing sound.
Therefore, you can make a decision by listening to the audio responses produced by the
device in the field. In the GEN mode, when the device produces an audio tone, if the mineral
bar rises at the same time, you can decide whether the target is a positive or a negative hot
rock by listening to the sound. In the other modes, if you have not changed the default
DISC. setting of the device, the device will not produce an audio tone for positive hot rocks
and if you have ground balanced, it will not emit an audio tone for negative hot rocks
anyway. If you have changed the DISC. setting of the device in these modes, when you
receive a strong signal and a stable ID, you can distinguish if the detected target is a positive
hot rock or metal by checking the ID. However, remember that weak signals may produce
different IDs and metals under rocks may produce different metal signals. Therefore, the
most appropriate action is to dig up when a metal signal is received.
Because you can encounter such a situation in gold prospecting areas where nuggets are
being searched for, it is important for you to get familiar with the hot rocks and their IDs in
your search field and pre-test the device with some nuggets.
If you are using one of the modes other than the GEN mode and you know the ID of the
surrounding hot rocks, you can use the DISC. setting to eliminate the rocks. However, this
may not be sufficient to avoid all rock signals. The device may still receive signals from rocks
because soil and rocks together will form a combined effect and generate a different ID
than those of rocks.
TRACKING AND EFFECTS OF ROCKS
When the tracking is active, the device may give an audio response and ID when it passes
over a hot rock because the effect of the rock will be different than the ground's. At the sime
time, the mineral bar will rise. If you swing the search coil over the rock, tracking will
automatically adjust the setting and the audio response/ID will either disappear or
diminish significantly. Because there is a slight delay in tracking, you may hear a strong
signal at the first one or two swings until the setting is adjusted. Then the sound will get
weaker and disappear. This will not happen with metal targets because metals will prevent
the device from ground balancing. Therefore, in tracking, if you are getting a constant
signal over a target after repeated swings, there is a high possibility that the target is a
metal. Moving from over a rock back to soil, the device may give signals to the ground for a
few swings until the ground balance setting is updated again. This is normal and should not
mislead you.
Tracking is not recommended to eliminate rocks under normal conditions. It is
recommended for use in areas with changing soil types.
METALS UNDER ROCKS
Gold Kruzer increases the possibility of detecting metal targets under mineralized rocks
through the proper adjustment of your settings. The combined effect created by the rock
and metal together is lower than the effect that the metal creates by itself and the
displayed ID will be different than the metal's expected ID. The displayed ID is formed by
the combination of rock and metal together and gets closer to the ID of the rock if the size
of the metal is smaller in relation to the rock. Keep in mind that metals under hot rocks will
never appear with their own metal ID. For instance, a gold piece under a brick may produce
an iron tone and ID.
If you eliminate hot rocks with a correctly adjusted DISC. setting in the search modes other
than GEN, you can hear the signal of the target under the rock if the target signal has a
slightly greater effect than the DISC. value. The important thing here is that if you detect a
target and dig out a rock, you should note the ID you got before digging and use it as the
DISC.value the next time.
For instance; the hot rocks in your search field tend to give IDs around 00-04. In this case,
you should set the DISC. to maximum 05. This way you can eliminate rocks and receive the
signals of metals underneath. If you set the DISC.too high unnecessarily, you will lose
metals along with rocks.
IMPORTANT! When searching in fields with hot rocks, using the E.U.D feature (page 20) is
recommended to avoid missing metals under hot rocks.
MESSAGES
Gold Kruzer has software update capability. All software updates made after the device is
released to the market will be announced on the product's web page along with updating
instructions.
System Version Information:
To see the software version of the Gold Kruzer's system card and LCD, while the device is
OFF, press the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons simultaneously and turn the unit on. Continue
to hold the buttons depressed until you can read the software version. The major version
will be shown in the Target ID section and the minor version in the GB window.
SOFTWARE UPDATE
Warning messages are shown at the bottom of the display. Messages that may appear are
as follows:
Overload
It appears on the display simultaneously with the overload alarm. This happens when the
search coil encounters a near surface or a very large object. The device reverts back to
normal operation if you lift the coil up. If the alarm and the message continue along a long
line, you may be over a long metal such as a pipe.
In case of high mineralization, the device may overload. If the cause of overloading is not a
large metal, it may be the ground itself and this situation may be overcome by lowering the
gain.
Pump Coil
This message appears when the GB button is pressed for ground balancing. It does not
indicate any error or problem. It only indicates what should be done.
Check Coil
It indicates an interruption in the search coil transmitter signal. The search coil connector
may be unattached, loose or disconnected. If you own another detector with the same coil
connector, please be sure that you have not attached the wrong coil by mistake. If none of
the above exists, the search coil or its cable may have a defect. If the issue continues when
you change the search coil, there may be an issue in the coil control circuit.
Boost
Indicates that the Audio Boost function is active.
