Detecting Glossary
NO MATTER WHAT THE HOBBY ANY OF US DECIDE TO TAKE UP, WE ARE ALWAYS FACED WITH A
CONFUSING JUMBLE OF WORDS AND PHRASES THAT MEAN NOTHING TO US AND STAND THERE
WITH BLANK EXPRESSIONS WONDERING WHAT ON EARTH THE SALESPERSON OR ENTHUSIAST
IS GOING ON ABOUT. WE HOPE THAT THE FEW PHRASES AND TERMINOLOGY THAT WE ATTEMPT
TO PUT INTO PLAIN ENGLISH BELOW WILL BE OF SOME USE TO YOU.
Air Test

A test performed to give an indication of a detectors depth capabilities

when a target is passed over the search head.

All Metal

A user mode that allows the acceptance of all metals as a positive signal.

Audio Target ID

The ability of a detector to produce a different tone for differing metals.

e.g. low tone/iron - high tone/coins

Discrimination

The ability of a detector to ignore the response from a specific target range,
allowing responses only from targets with higher conductivity.

Ferrous

Any iron bearing target

Ground Balance

Circuitry, which allows the detector to ignore ground mineralisation manually,

automatically or at a pre-set level.

Motion Detector

A mode of detection that requires a movement of the search head to trigger

a response from the target.

Non Ferrous

Any non iron bearing target.

Non Motion

A mode of detection that does not require movement of the search head
to trigger a response from the target.

Notch Discrimination

Circuitry allowing the user to reject a specific range of targets whilst still
accepting targets above and below this etting.

Pinpointing

The ability of the detector to find the exact location of a target. Either by
Xing the search head or locating in an all metal mode.

Search Coil/Head

A circular plate (either open or closed) containing the single or multiple

transmit and receive windings used to pass over the ground to emit & recive
signals from the target.

Sensitivity

Loosely equated to depth control, ground conditions will determine the

highest sensitivity settings allowed on a particular site.

Silent Seartch

A detector producing a signal from a target whilst operating below the

audible threshold.

Target ID Meter

The ability of a detector to recognise a target by its conductivity and to then

display a likely target ID by means of Bars, Numbers or an icon via a meter.

Tone ID

The ability of the detectors discriminating circuitry to recognise & issue a

different tone for metals of differing conductivity.

Threshold

The tone used to establish the minimum sound level for a deep target while
searching in discrimination mode, Also used as a reference point in all metal
mode whilst ground balancing.

Detecnicks Ltd
Established October 1996
Detecnicks is a family run detecting shop for Detectorists, run by Detectorists and offers advice from
many years of experience - when Detecnicks first opened in 1996, this was the basic principle behind
the whole concept, a basic principle we have maintained as we have grown and will continue to do so.
As a multi line dealer we aim to supply new and experienced Detectorists with impartial advice regarding
their purchase, holding in stock most of the major models and with the choices now so vast the ability
to get other models as required.
OK - you now have the Detecnicks brochure in front of you, there are umpteen machines, some motion,
some non-motion, some with tone ID, terms and features which may mean nothing to you, prices
ranging from 10s of pounds up to many hundreds, where do I start? Dont worry, most of the
information you need to make an informed choice you will find in this pack, if you are still not too sure,
then simply give us a call and we will help find the right machine specifically suited to your individual
requirements at a price which suits your budget.
We hold extensive stocks of new machines, represented by most of the major manufacturers, as well as
an ever-changing selection of quality used models.
Payment can be made by all the usual methods, either by cash, cheque, and credit/debit cards.(Electron
cards can only be used through our internet site or in person and cannot be processed with details
supplied over the telephone unless you give permission for internet processing)
We also offer interest free finance (subject to status), which is available on all new machines of 199.00
and over. To apply simply fill in the form at the rear of this catalogue and return it to us. This facility is
NOT available for the purchase of 2nd hand machines or accessories.
We offer a comprehensive service to the hobby, not only in sales, but an excellent after sales advice
service. We undertake a few very minor repairs with our own electrical engineer. For more serious problems
we would refer you to the appropriate manufacturer or repair agent.
You will see us at many of the events organised for the hobby in the south of England mainly, where
we are happy to set up for the organisers, a trade stall with a large supply of accessories available
for purchase whilst you are in the field.
We are happy to identify your finds, free of charge at weekends if you can pop in to see us, when you
are free to chat over a cup of tea or coffee with other callers. If you cant call in, simply send us a
picture by post or e-mail and we will reply as soon as we can.
Metal Detecting is a rewarding hobby in many ways; our aim here at Detecnicks is to make your
initial experience as enjoyable as possible.
We look forward to welcoming you to the hobby of Metal Detecting.

Detector Price List

We now sell all our detectors as boxed machines.

This means that what we supply at the price quoted is exactly what is
supplied by the manufacturer. In most cases this includes a scuff
cover for the machine or a set of alkaline batteries.
To give consistancy where these are not supplied by the
manufacturer we will add them free of any further charge.
Our prices also include UK next working day delivery unless
otherwise stated where it will be charged @ 10.00 per order.
The price list will detail the manufacturer suggested retail price
(Where given) along with our discounted sale price.
We will not accept a part exchange against this discounted
price and if you wish to part exchange you will need to contact
us by telephone to negotiate a price.

What are Motion Detectors & Non-Motion Detectors?

Motion Detectors first started to arrive on the market in the early 1980's. Before this all detectors were non-motion.
Non-motion refers to the fact that you do not have to be moving the search head to trigger a response from a
target. If you think of tuning a radio to your favourite station, you may occasionally have to retune it because it
may have "drifted" off the station. This also applies to non-motion detectors. As you scan the ground, the tuning
may slightly drift from where it was initially set, but is very easily brought back to the correct setting.
A non-motion detector normally runs with a background threshold tone.
Motion refers to the fact that you have to be moving the search head to trigger a response from a target
(albeit a very slight movement). Motion detectors are self-tuning, once they are switched on they are continually
re-adjusting themselves for optimum performance. Motion detectors are normally silent running, they tend to be
more user friendly,they are better able to cope with mineralised ground and have better discrimination capabilities.

How deep will a metal detector detect?

An obvious question, but very difficult to answer. Whether a detector is described as a relatively deep seeking
machine or not, will depend not just upon it's own design capabilities, but a number of other outside influences.
The size of a target for instance, the larger the target, the deeper it will be found. The type of metal, some metals
are more conductive than others. How the target lies in the ground, on edge or on it's side. The level of
mineralisation will have an effect on the depth. Even the moisture content of the ground will have an effect.
Targets tend to be found deeper in damp ground and depth will be lost in dry conditions. Taking all these
variables into account a single coin sized object can be found anything between 10cm (4") to 22.5cm (9")
with larger objects up to 1 m (39").

What is Discrimination?
The discrimination circuitry of a detector allows the detector to safely ignore unwanted metals such as small
pieces of iron and silver paper, whilst still detecting more desirable metals such as gold, silver, copper and
other non-ferrous metals.

Are Metal Detectors difficult to operate?

No, most modern detectors are user friendly, some of the programmable, computerised models, may take a
little time to master. The sophisticated modern electronics have automated most of the tasks that had to be
done manually on earlier models.

What does mineralisation & ground effect mean?

The ground contains varying quantities of iron oxide. These oxides have built up over many years, mainly on
land worked and farmed by humans. Other land can have naturally occurring magnetic iron oxides. Metal
detectors are effected by this ground mineralisation and this is referred to as ground effect. Beaches also have
a ground effect caused by the electrical conductivity of salt water.

Can I use a Metal Detector on the beach as well as land?

Using your detector on dry sand/stones is exactly the same as using it inland. Many types of Motion detectors
have been used continuously on the beaches, resulting in some great finds, while other machines are less
successful or indeed useless on the wet sand, giving false signals.Talk to us to advise you on the most
suitable detector for your detecting needs.

Do I need a license to use a metal detector?

No. The Home Office scrapped licenses in 1980.

What other accessories do I need, together with my Metal Detector?

A good pair of headphones is beneficial. They reduce external noise, enhance deeper, fainter signals & increase
battery life. A coil cover to protect the base of the search coil is a wise choice & something to dig with. There are
many products that are useful but not essential to get you going. Browse the catalogue, but please ask if you
have any questions, we are more than happy to help. This is our hobby too!

Location of Detecnicks
We are easy to locate being just off the junction of the A27
Coastal road between Chichester & Arundel and the A29 London

we want you to go away with the most suitable machine for you, to detect with
where you want to detect, frequently this is not the most expensive available.
