Field Tips

1. A good ground balance is critical to success.

2. Ignore chirps, squeaks, blips, grunts, and other minor

clipped sounds that are not repeatable.

3. A broad increase in the tone is likely due to a shift in the

ground mineralization (often called a hot spot) rather than a

large deep target. If it is due to mineralization, a slight

adjustment to the ground balance will cause it to go away.

4. A good target will give a smooth, distinctive response. The

tone will quickly go from soft to a sharp peak and back to

soft. The strength of the peak depends on the depth of the

target. Dig anything that gives a response like this.

5. A long nail will give a “good” response from one direction

if it is lying flat in the ground. When the loop is swept from

a different direction, the signal will be sharp but clipped

instead of smooth. That is, there is no gentle rising of the

sound to the peak and then dropping off.

6. Bits of nails shorter than half an inch, small flat pieces of

can, boot tacks, wire, etc. will often sound the same as a

nugget, so dig them all.

Assembly

1. Remove all parts from the shipping carton and check assem-

bly diagram to ensure all parts are present.

2. Install black rubber washers on fiber clevis/lower rod, insert

clevis lower rod onto loop ears. Use only nonmetallic wash-

ers, fiber bolt, and fiber thumb nut to secure loop/search coil

to clevis/lower fiber rod.

3. Unlock “S” rod cam-lock and insert clevis/lower rod into

curved “S” rod so that stainless steel spring clip buttons line

up and lock into one of the adjustment holes in the curved

“S” rod. Turn cam-lock to secure. The second or third

adjustment holes are suitable for average sized adults.

4. Wind the loop cable around the rod assembly, first revolu-

tion over the top of the rod, all the way to the top of the

curved “S” rod, about five revolutions. Use the black cable

retainers, one near the loop, and one near the top of the

curved “S” rod, to hold the loop cable in place. Plug the

cable into the jack on the front of the control box.

response. The following illustration shows improper and proper

Dealing with Noise

Because PI detectors have wideband receivers they are

more prone to noise and interference than narrowband VLF

designs. There are a few strategies for dealing with noise. First,

use the Frequency Offset control to slightly adjusts the overall

pulse rate. With the Threshold and Gain turned up to the point of

mild chatter, make very small incremental adjustments to the

Frequency control to minimize the chatter.

Some sources of noise cannot be dealt with electronically,

such as electric fences. Try to identify the noise source and dis-

able it. Indoor testing is notoriously difficult to do with PI

detectors due to the overwhelming number of EMI sources. If

you cannot minimize noise with the Frequency control, then

turning down the Gain or Threshold is your best bet. Excessive

chatter will easily mask targets, plus results in audio fatigue. It

is better to trade off sensitivity for smooth audio so you can hear

the targets.

5. Grip the instrument by the handle, with your arm in the

elbow cup with strap and sweep the loop/search coil over

the floor. If the instrument fit feels uncomfortable, readjust

clevis/lower rod length with spring clip button and cam-

lock so that search coil can be held near the floor without

stooping over.

6. Remove the protective paper from the two black arm cup

foam pads. Carefully align pads on the inside of the elbow

cup, one on each side of the center rod, and press firmly into

place.

7. Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose enough for you

to slide your arm in and out without loosening each time

you want to set the detector down. The elbow cup strap pro-

vides extra leverage and control. However, some prefer not

to use it.

8. Install the battery pack.

Batteries

The GMT Super Pulse includes two standard alkaline bat-

tery packs. They supply a nominal 12 volts and will power the

GMT Super Pulse for about 4-5 hours (this can depend on the

quality of the alkaline batteries). The GMT Super Pulse will

operate until the batteries drop to about 8.5 volts, at which point

the low battery LED will turn on.

learn their audio responses. A US nickel or small gold nugget

works well for a low conductive target, and a US quarter makes

a good high conductive target. GMT Super Pulse is a motion

detector, so target responses depend on the motion of the coil. If

you hold the coil steady over a target, the audio response will

fade back to the threshold tone.

Sweep Methods

With any metal detector, the size of the search coil presents

a trade-off between depth and sensitivity. A larger coil offers

better depth on larger targets at the expense of small-target sen-

sitivity, and a smaller coil has better sensitivity to small targets,

but at a lesser depth.

Proper sweep technique is important with any detector.

Round coils tend to have a conical pattern of sensitivity as illus-

trated below. As such, coverage at maximum depth is less than

the size of the coil, so it is always recommended that successive

sweeps are overlapped by about 50%:

Besides overlapping each sweep, it is important to keep the

coil close and parallel to the ground. Pendulum-swinging the

coil results in loss of depth, and if the ground balance isn’t per-

fectly set the variation in loop height will create a ground

QuickStart

1. Set the Ground Balance to ~8.5.

2. Turn on the power and adjust the Gain to “2.”

3. Adjust the Threshold to achieve a faint background hum.

4. With the coil on the ground (no motion) increase the Gain

until the audio begins to chatter. Back off slightly for a rea-

sonably smooth threshold.

5. Using a spot free of targets, bob the coil up & down and

adjust the Ground Balance control to minimize the audio

response.

6. The GMT Super Pulse has a two-tone response: low con-

ductors (small gold nuggets, foil) give a high tone, high

conductors (large gold nuggets, silver coins) give a low

tone.

response at GB=5 (see More Info for audio responses).

Occasionally there is not enough mineralization to require

ground balancing (e.g. non-mineralized beaches), and Ground

Balance may be turned off. This disables the ground balance

and GMT Super Pulse will run as a straight PI detector. This

gives a slight improvement in depth but, of course, will respond

to mineralization and eliminates the ability to discern conduc-

tivities as all targets will produce a high tone.

Frequency

This control makes small adjust-

ments to the transmitter pulse rate. This

is used to counteract any interference

which might be due to outside electro-

magnetic sources, such as radio sta-

tions, microwave, short wave, electric

fences, power lines, lightening, electri-

cal storms, or other metal detectors being used nearby. This

interference is recognized by a warbling or repetitive pulsing of

the audio threshold, and can mask target signals.

If you are experiencing interference, adjust the Frequency

control for minimal chatter. Adjustments should be done in

small steps, with a few seconds between each adjustment to see

if the unit settles down. If you cannot deal with interference

with the Frequency control, then reduce the Gain and/or Thresh-

old settings to obtain a reasonably stable operating point..

Audio

With Ground Balance = Off all targets will give a high audio

tone. With Ground Balance enabled, low conductivity targets

give a high tone a high conductivity targets give a low tone.

New users are encouraged to practice with various targets to

Controls

Threshold

The Threshold control sets the level

at which the background audio tone is

heard. In most cases, faint target sig-

nals are easiest to hear when the thresh-

old is set to a low but clearly audible

level. A higher threshold level can

result in audio fatigue. Too low of a

threshold level means that a stronger

target signal is required to produce an audible change. Thresh-

old is best determined at a low gain setting where there is no

chatter.

The threshold can be set low enough to effect a “silent

search” audio. Some people prefer silent search to prevent

audio fatigue. If you choose to do this, increase the threshold to

the point where you can hear the threshold tone, then slowly

back off until it is barely inaudible. Reducing the threshold any

more than necessary requires stronger target signals to produce

an audio response. Other controls — including Gain and

Ground Balance — are best adjusted with an audible threshold.

Power/Gain

The Gain control increases or

decreases the amplification of the

receive signal. Normally, this deter-

mines how deep the detector will “see”

a target.

However, increasing the gain not

only increases the amplification of tar-

get signals, but also that of ground signals and electromagnetic

interference (EMI) as well. A common mistake is to assume

that higher gain will always give better depth. In air tests this is

generally true, but ground results can depend on the amount and

type of mineralization.

With the coil on the ground, increase the gain until the

detector exhibits chatter, then back off slightly for a reasonably

steady threshold tone. Proper ground balancing will minimize

chatter due to mineralization.

The Gain control is also used to turn the detector on and off.

Ground Balance

This control is used to balance out

the signal from ground mineralization.

There is an OFF position for which

GMT Super Pulse runs in straight PI

mode with no ground balance.

To ground balance GMT Super

Pulse set the Gain to about the mid-

point or until the audio just begins to chatter. Pump the search

coil up and down from about one inch off the ground up to 6-8

inches above the ground while listening for a change in the audio.

If the GB is too low, the audio will have a high tone when the coil

is lowered to the ground; if the GB is too high, the audio will

have a low tone. Adjust the Ground Balance control for minimal

audio changes. For most moderate mineralization, this will be

around “8”. A simple technique is to start with the GB set inten-

tionally too low (say, 5); pump the coil and increase the GB until

the high tone begins to transition to a low tone, then back off

slightly.

If you begin to hear ground noises (false signals) as you

sweep the coil you should check the ground balance.

There are some cases where a particular target will fall

exactly on top of the ground balance point and GMT Super

Pulse will not be able to detect it at all. Targets that are close to

the ground balance point may have their tone response shifted if

the Ground Balance control is adjusted. For example, a given

target may have a high tone response with GB=9 but a low tone
