This specialized detection mode is optimized for locating small, thin coins like hammered silver and tiny ancient gold coins. With enhanced response on select target ID ranges and reduced response for common ferrous items, the Thin Coins Mode provides precision detection for valuable historical finds.

• Faster recovery speed for improved target separation
• Enhanced response on select target ID ranges
• Reduced response for common ferrous items and high-tone targets

Fast Mode

Engineered for treasure hunting in high-trash environments, this detection mode helps uncover valuable targets hidden among debris. Ideal for competition hunts, it features a fast recovery speed to quickly distinguish between signals and a reduced iron volume setting to minimize interference from unwanted metal.

3 Levels of Recovery Speed Control

Select from three recovery speeds to optimize your metal detecting experience. A higher recovery/reactivity speed allows for better target separation, making it easier to distinguish valuable finds from nearby debris. This feature is especially useful for competition hunts and detecting in areas with heavy metallic trash, where good targets might otherwise be masked.

Beach Mode and Multi-Frequency Salt Operation

Harness the power of MD-MF Technology and Multi-Salt operation for smooth performance and accurate target ID in challenging environments. This waterproof metal detector delivers exceptional detection depth along wet beaches and in the surf, making it the perfect tool for coastal treasure hunting.

Wireless Ready

With built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology, you can enjoy a completely cord-free metal detecting experience. It allows for easy connection to wireless headphones, offering low latency and superior sound quality while you search.
