Pyle PHMD72 Metal Detector Specification

The Pyle PHMD72 Metal Detector is designed for both beginners and experienced treasure hunters, offering a user-friendly interface combined with advanced search capabilities. It operates with a highly sensitive detection system capable of identifying various metal types, including gold, silver, and relics, at varying depths. The device features a discrimination control that allows users to filter between different metals, enhancing search precision and minimizing unwanted detections. Its adjustable sensitivity settings ensure optimal performance across diverse terrains, from sandy beaches to rocky grounds. The PHMD72 comes equipped with an 8-inch waterproof search coil, enabling users to explore shallow water areas without compromising performance. The ergonomic design includes an adjustable stem, making it suitable for users of different heights, while the lightweight construction ensures ease of handling during prolonged use. The metal detector is powered by standard batteries, providing reliable and long-lasting operation in the field. Additionally, it is equipped with an audio alert system and a headphone jack, offering auditory feedback to aid in detecting buried objects. The PHMD72 is designed with a clear LCD display that shows target identity, sensitivity level, and battery status, allowing users to monitor and adjust settings easily. This metal detector is a versatile tool for hobbyists and professionals seeking an efficient and adaptable solution for metal detection tasks.

Pyle PHMD72 Metal Detector F.A.Q.

How do I assemble the Pyle PHMD72 Metal Detector?

To assemble the Pyle PHMD72, attach the search coil to the lower stem and secure it with the provided wing nut. Connect the lower stem to the upper stem, adjust the length, and tighten the lock nut. Finally, attach the control box to the upper stem and ensure all cables are connected securely.

What is the optimal way to use the Pyle PHMD72 for beach metal detecting?

For beach metal detecting, set the detector to 'All Metal' mode for maximum sensitivity. Adjust the ground balance to minimize false signals from saltwater. Sweep the coil slowly and methodically parallel to the shoreline, and ensure the coil is close to the ground without touching it.

How can I troubleshoot if the metal detector is not turning on?

Ensure the batteries are properly inserted and fully charged. Check for any corrosion in the battery compartment and clean it if necessary. If the issue persists, inspect the power switch for any damage or loose connections.

What should I do if the detector gives continuous false signals?

Continuous false signals can be caused by high sensitivity settings, electromagnetic interference, or improper ground balance. Lower the sensitivity, ensure the ground balance is correctly adjusted, and move away from potential sources of interference such as power lines or metal structures.

How do I maintain the search coil for optimal performance?

Regularly clean the search coil with a damp cloth and ensure it is free of dirt and debris. Check the coil cable for any signs of wear or damage, and avoid coiling it too tightly. Store the detector in a dry location to prevent moisture damage.

What are the recommended settings for detecting gold with this metal detector?

For gold detecting, use the 'Discrimination' mode to filter out iron and other unwanted metals. Set the sensitivity to a high level, but adjust as needed to reduce noise. Fine-tune the ground balance to account for mineralized soil conditions.

How can I extend the battery life of my metal detector?

To extend battery life, turn off the detector when not in use and remove batteries during long periods of inactivity. Use high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries and consider carrying spare batteries during prolonged detecting sessions.

What is the best way to test if my metal detector is working correctly?

Perform a bench test by placing various metal objects such as coins, rings, and nails on the ground. Sweep the search coil over each item and listen for the detector's response. Ensure the detector correctly identifies each object according to its settings.

How do I perform a factory reset on the Pyle PHMD72?

To perform a factory reset, turn off the metal detector, then press and hold the power button for approximately 10 seconds until you hear a beep. This will restore the default settings.

What should I do if the detector's display is not working?

Check the battery level as low power can affect the display. Inspect the display connections for any loose or damaged wires. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps or contact customer support.
