What is Discrimination Mode?
Discrimination mode is a function in metal detectors that allows users to filter and identify target objects based on their conductivity and magnetic properties. By setting the discrimination mode, the detector can ignore unwanted metals (such as nails and bottle caps) and focus on valuable targets (like coins, jewelry, and relics).
How Discrimination Mode Works
When a SuperEye metal detector emits an electromagnetic field, buried metal objects generate their own electromagnetic response. The detector's coil receives these responses and analyzes the object's conductivity and ferromagnetism to determine its type. High conductivity usually corresponds to precious metals (like gold and silver), while low conductivity is common in metals like iron and steel.
Setting Up Discrimination Mode
- Select the Mode: Most modern SuperEye metal detectors offer multiple discrimination modes, including all-metal mode (detects all metals), eliminating mode (ignores specific conductivity ranges), and custom mode (user-defined settings).
- Adjust Sensitivity: Sensitivity determines the detection depth and the size of the target object. High sensitivity can help find small or deeply buried objects but may also increase the likelihood of detecting unwanted metals.
- Test and Optimize: Before actual detection, test the settings on known metal objects to fine-tune the discrimination mode for optimal performance.
Advantages of Discrimination Mode
- Increased Efficiency: By filtering out unwanted metals, discrimination mode significantly reduces the number of false digs, enhancing detection efficiency.
- Time-Saving: Users can focus on finding valuable targets without wasting time on junk metals.
- Enhanced Experience: Discrimination mode makes the detection process more precise and enjoyable, increasing the chances of discovering treasures.
Conclusion
The discrimination mode in SuperEye metal detectors is an indispensable feature that helps users detect more efficiently. By correctly setting and using the discrimination mode, you can greatly increase your chances of finding valuable targets and enjoy a more rewarding detection experience.
