INSTRUCTIONS FOR TREASURE MATE
Thank you for choosing the Treasure Mate for your pinpointing and prospecting tool.
These instructions will help you get started on the right path. With any type of electronic
device, there is a learning curve. The Treasure Mate has a simple learning curve for coin
hunting. The Ground Balance knob (GB) and Tuning knob (TUNE) should be turned to
the far left. Air balancing or ground balancing to the ground will find deeper and smaller
targets.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Install the one 9-volt battery to the battery lead. You need to make a decision here if you
want to hunt with the LED light and speaker or the LED light and vibrator mode before
you secure the battery door, because the selector switch is inside the battery compartment.
At this time you flip the switch to your preferred mode! Finish installing the battery door
by tightening the screws snug but not too tight. The battery door is located in the kit.
There are 4 spare screws for the battery door that are provided in your Treasure Mate kit.
GETTING STARTED
The Treasure Mate has 3 controls. One Ground Balance knob (GB) one Tuning knob
(TUNE) and an ON/OFF switch. The ON/OFF switch is a rocker switch with a red dot.
When the red dot is down, the Treasure Mate is on. The GB knob is like any detector
that has the capability of adjusting to the minerals in the ground. Balancing to the
ground will set it up for the smaller targets. To air balance you turn the GB knob and
TUNE knob towards the "+" (plus) sign then, back off towards the "-" (minus) sign
until the Treasure Mate becomes stable. That's all! Air balancing is all that is needed
for coin and relic hunting. Ground balancing to the ground by pumping it and adjust
so it beeps or vibrates just slightly towards the ground. The tuning knob is for outside
interference. Turning the TUNE knob towards the "+" sign will cause the Treasure
Mate to beep or vibrate and backing off the knob towards the "-" until the Treasure
Mate is stable.
PROSPECTING MODE
The Treasure Mate was designed to probe small gold nuggets. The GB and TUNE knobs
will be beneficial in balancing the Treasure Mate to the minerals in the dirt. Ground
balancing is a must for locating small pieces of gold. The Treasure Mate can be used in
your gold pan and in black sand. This probe will be ideal for prospecting cracks in bedrock,
locating veins in mines and to help locate your nuggets in dirt after detecting your nugget
target with your primary detector. It also can detect other minerals in rocks.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The probe is waterproof up to but not including the knobs .
The Treasure Mate can handle pushing and probing in loose dirt.
The placement of the GB, TUNE and ON/OFF knobs are in easy reach with one hand operation.
If the Treasure Mate is not to be used over a long period of time it is best to- remove the battery.
