GoldHunter Quick Start — Start Detecting in Minutes
This guide gets you detecting in four steps using Discrimination mode — the recommended starting point for new users.
Step 1 — Select Discriminator Mode
Open the GoldHunter app and tap Discriminator from the main menu.
Step 2 — Set Sensitivity
Turn the Sensitivity / Gain knob to the middle position (12:00).
This is a safe starting point. You can increase sensitivity later once you are familiar with the detector's behaviour in your local ground conditions.
Step 3 — Set Volume
Set volume to 50% using the volume buttons on the smart control unit.
Step 4 — Test with the Included Sample
Move the included test sample above the searchcoil.
- The gold icon in the app should highlight.
- You should hear a detection tone from the speaker.
If both happen, the detector is working correctly and ready for use in the field.
tip
Once you are comfortable with Discrimination mode, try All-Metal mode for deeper detection and better performance in mineralized soil.
