What Is Target Masking

What Is Target Masking?

Metal detector target masking happens when one response interferes with another target strongly enough that the second object is missed, misidentified, or heard only as a broken signal. The masking object is often iron, but it can also be aluminum trash, another accepted metal, mineralized soil, or a shallow object above a deeper one. Understanding […]

Metal Detector Depth Indicators Explained

A metal detector depth indicator estimates how far a detected target may be below the search coil. It can help you plan a neat recovery, choose the right digging tool, and recognize when a target may be larger or smaller than expected. The reading is useful, but it is not a direct measurement of the […]

All-Metal Mode Explained

All-Metal Mode Explained

All-metal mode is a detector operating choice that lets the user hear a wider range of metal responses instead of silencing selected target categories. That sounds simple, but the label does not mean exactly the same thing on every detector. On one model it may be a true, threshold-based search mode built for maximum response […]
