The following terms are used throughout the manual, and are standard terminology
among detectorists.
Reference to a metal being "eliminated" means that the detector will not emit
a tone, nor light up an indicator, when a specified object passes through the
coil’s detection field.
When the detector emits different tones for different types of metals, and
when the detector "eliminates" certain metals, we refer to this as the detector
"discriminating" among different types of metals.
Discrimination is an important feature of professional metal detectors.
Discrimination allows the user to ignore trash and otherwise undesirable
objects.
A relic is an object of interest by reason of its age or its association with
the past. Many relics are made of iron, but can also be made of bronze or
precious metals.
Iron is a common, low-grade metal that is an undesirable target in certain
metal detecting applications. Examples of undesirable iron objects are
old cans, pipes, bolts, and nails. Sometimes, the desired target is made
of iron. Property markers, for instance, contain iron. Valuable relics can
also be composed of iron; cannon balls, old armaments, and parts of old
structures and vehicles can also be composed of iron.
Metals which are made of, or contain, iron.
Pinpointing is the process of finding the exact location of a buried object.
Long-buried metals can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, and can
therefore be very hard to isolate from the soil.
Discarded pull-tabs from beverage containers are the most bothersome
trash items for treasure hunters. They come in many different shapes and
sizes. Most pull-tabs can be eliminated with the Mode Control, but some
other valuable objects can have a magnetic signature similar to pull-tabs,
and will also be eliminated when discriminating out pull-tabs.
Ground Balancing is the ability of the detector to ignore, or "see through," the
earth’s naturally occurring minerals, and only sound a tone when a metal
object is detected.

How To Pinpoint Targets Using The
PINPOINT Mode
When you’ve discovered a target you wish to dig,
do the following:
1. Hold the searchcoil about half an inch above the ground,
off to the side of where you think the target probably is.
2. Tap the PINPOINT touchpad button. This will put you into the All Metal Pinpoint
mode. NOTE: unlike the other modes, this mode does not require the searchcoil to
be in motion to detect a target.
3. Lift the searchcoil slightly, and pass it over the target. The sound will be loudest over
the center of the target.
To Narrow It Down Further:
4.Now that you know about where the target is, again lower the searchcoil to about half
an inch above the ground, near the center of the target but not right over the top. Tap
the button again. The sound will instantly go away.
5.Lift the searchcoil slightly and move it horizontally
over the target. The audible response zone will be
much narrower. If you move the searchcoil around
right and left and also forward and back, making an
“X” pattern over the target, you can determine the
location of the target usually within an inch or two.
NOTE: if at any time it seems like the signal may be
drifting, just tap the Pinpoint button. This restores
the signal to its zero level.

detected.
V. Press the MODE touch pad
The detector will beep twice and an “R”
will appear under the iron indicator.
Quick-Start Demo continued on next page
Before using the PINPOINT mode, it is necessary to “Ground Balance” your
detector, this ground balancing adjustment offsets the effects of minerals
and salts in the ground.
To GROUND BALANCE your detector:
1. Using the ALL-METAL mode, find a patch of ground which is free of
metal objects. You will use this section of ground to test the detector.
The presence of any metal objects in this area will interfere with this
procedure.
2. Begin with the ground balance
KNOB in the PRESET position.
3. Lift the search coil waist high in the air.
4. Press the PINPOINT touch pad.
5. Lower the search coil to the ground,
maintaining it elevated about 1/2 inch above
the surface (be sure that this ground does
not contain metal).
• If the detector emits sound with the search coil 1/2 inch over the
ground, further ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY.

VI. Wave the Nail over the Search Coil
a. The Nail will not be detected. b. The Nail has been "Discriminated Out."
VII. Press the “DISCRIMINATION-
touchpad twice.
Three
“R”s are now displayed.
VIII. Wave all objects over the
Search Coil
The Nail and Pull-Tab will not be detected. The other objects will be
detected with their own distinctive tones.
IX. Press the NOTCH touchpad.
A flashing
“R” will appear
under the 5¢/PT segment.
X. Press the DISCRIMINATION
touchpad three times.
The flashing “R” will move to the
ZINC segment.
XI. Press the NOTCH touchpad again.
The “R” will appear under zinc.
XII. Wave the zinc penny over the search coil.
The penny is discriminated out.
XIII. Press the DISC A-M touchpad
The detector returns to ALL-METAL mode. No “R”s are displayed.
All types of metals will be detected.
XIV. Wave the pull-tab over the coil.
XV. Press the ITD touchpad.
An “R” will appear.
XVI. Wave the pull-tab over the search coil
again.
The pull-tab (most recently detected item)
is eliminated from detector.
XVII. Press the PINPOINT touch pad.
Hold one of the metal objects motionless over the search coil.
All Metal objects are now detected.
Depth and Target indicator do not lluminate in this mode.
One monotone sound indicates the presencce of any type of metal.
objects. If you are new to the hobby,
you may want to dig all targets at
first. With practice in the field, you
will learn to better discern the nature
of buried objects by the nature of the
detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False
signals occur when the detector
beeps, but no metal target is present.
False signals can be induced by
electromagnetic interference,
oxidation, or highly mineralized
ground soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the signal
with several additional sweeps over
the same spot, there is probably no
target present.
When searching very trashy ground,
it is best to scan small areas with
slow, short sweeps. You will be
surprised just how much trash
metal and foil you will find in some
areas. The trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people, and
frequently hold the most promise for
finding the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the surface of
the ground, without making contact
with the ground. Making contact
with the ground can cause false
signals.

Press the POWER touch pad.
The detector will beep
4 times.
All display segments will
illuminate momentarily.
The SENSITIVITY and
BATTERY indicators will
stay illuminated.
Depending on the operation mode selected, the Titan 3000 XD detects metal
both with the coil in motion, or with the coil motionless. In the PINPOINT
mode of operation, metal is detected with the coil motionless over the
ground. This no-motion operation helps to locate the exact location of buried
objects, and is very useful in understanding the size and shape of buried
metal objects. The PINPOINT mode offers deeper ground penetration, but
cannot classify targets, nor indicate their depth.
The other operating modes require the coil to be in motion to detect a target.
When in the DISCRIMINATION, ALL-METAL or NOTCH modes, the coil
must be in continuous motion. It is often useful to search for targets in a
motion mode, and when identified, pinpoint their location with the PINPOINT
control.
At its default sensitivity setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized object,
such as a quarter, buried approximately seven inches deep. To change the
sensitivity level, and thus the detection depth, press the SENSITIVITY or
keys. The 6-segment scale at the left of the display, above “coin depth”,
indicates the sensitivity level when these touch pads are depressed.
At higher sensitivity levels, the detector is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference from electronic devices. Reduce sensitivity if demonstrating
indoors or if using near power lines or electrical equipment. Reduce
sensitivity if detector emits false signals.

Swing the search coil slowly,
overlapping each sweep as you move
forward. It is important to sweep the
coil at a consistent speed over the
ground as you search. After identifying
a target, your sweep technique can
help in identifying both the location
and the nature of the target. If you
encounter a weak signal, try moving
the coil in short, rapid sweeps over the
target zone; such a short rapid sweep
may provide a more consistent target
identification.
Most worthwhile objects will respond
with a repeatable tone. If the signal
does not repeat after sweeping the
coil directly over the suspected target
a few times, it is more than likely trash
metal.
Crossing the target zone with multiple
intersecting sweeps at multiple
angles is another way to verify the
repeatability of the signal, and the
potential of the buried target. To use
this method, walk around the target
area in a circle, sweeping the coil
across the target repeatedly, every 30
to 40 degrees of the circle, about ten
different angles as you walk completely
around the target. If a high-tone target
completely disappears from detection
at a given angle, chances are that you
are detecting oxidized ferrous metals,
rather than a silver or copper object.
If the tone changes at different angles,
you may have encountered multiple

The detector defaults to ALL METAL mode after powering on. In this mode,
all types of metals will be detected. An object’s PROBABLE identification is
indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. In addition, the
PROBABLE
depth of coin-sized objects is indicated by the rectangular segment indicators
on the left side of the display. All detected objects will cause the depth indicator
to illuminate. The depth indication is not accurate for larger objects; however,
it will provide accurate relative depth indications. The greater the distance an
object is from the search coil, the greater
its depth value.
Pressing this touch pad will cause
the detector to toggle between two
operating modes, DISCRIMINATION and
ALL-METAL. If the detector is in the
ALL-METAL mode (the default mode),
pressing the touch pad will change the detector into DISCRIMINATION mode.
If the detector is in the DISCRIMINATION mode, pressing the touch pad will
change the detector into ALL-METAL mode
.
Discrimination is used to eliminate unwanted objects from detection.
To enter this mode, from ALL-METAL mode, press the DISC/A-M touch pad.
After pressing
DISC/A-M, the detector will:
• Beep twice
• Display 3
"R"s under the left-most segments, Iron 1, 2 & 3
Ferrous objects will not be detected in DISCRIMINATION mode.
Heavily oxidized ferrous objects and very large iron objects will sometimes,
however, be detected, usually with a high tone and an indication to the right
of the target indentification scale.
To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION
touch
pad. Each time the pad is depressed, an additional "R" will appear, thus
eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the corresponding
categories.
To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION
touch pad. Each time the pad is depressed, an illuminated "R"
will disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the
corresponding categories.
Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system. Objects are
cumulatively eliminated as the level of discrimination increases.
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by “X-ing”
the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated by
a good tone response, continue
sweeping the coil over the target
in a narrowing side-to-side pat-
tern.
2. Take visual note of the place on the
ground where the “beep” sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this spot
on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight for-
ward and straight back towards
you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the spot
on the ground at which the “beep”
sounds.
6. If needed, X the target at
different angles to “zero in” on the
exact spot on the ground at which
the “beep” sounds.
When swinging the coil, be careful
to keep it level with the ground about
one inch from the surface. Never
swing the coil like a pendulum.

ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE
The principle use for the Sensitivity
Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI).
A hobby metal detector is an extremely
sensitive device; the search coil
creates its own magnetic field and
acts like an antenna. If your detector
beeps erratically when the search coil
is motionless, the unit is probably
detecting another electromagnetic
field.
Common sources of EMI are electric power lines, both suspended and buried,
motors, and household appliances like computers and microwave ovens. Some
indoor electronic devices, such as dimmer switches used on household lighting,
produce severe EMI and can cause the detector to beep erratically. Other metal
detectors also produce their own electromagnetic fields; so if detecting with a
friend, keep two metal detectors at least 20 feet apart.
If the detector beeps erratically, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY by pressing the
Sensitivity Pad on the left of the control panel.
SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS
A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals
caused by severe ground conditions. While your Titan 3000 XD contains
circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most naturally occurring ground
minerals, 100% of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated. Highly magnetic
soils found in mountainous and gold-prospecting locations can cause the
detector to emit tones when metal objects are not present. High saline content
soils and sands can sometimes cause the detector to false.
If the detector emits false, non-repeatable, signals, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY.
MULTIPLE TARGETS
If you suspect the presence of deeper targets beneath a shallower target, reduce
the sensitivity to eliminate the detection of the deeper targets, in order to properly
locate and identify the shallower target.
To selectively eliminate a category from detection within the metallic
spectrum, use the NOTCH Mode
.
Technical Note:
The NOTCH touch pad causes the status of an "R" segment to
toggle between
ON and OFF.
To use the NOTCH Mode
:
The NOTCH touch pad can be depressed at any time. But for
first-time use, place the detector in ALL-METAL mode
.
A first demonstration is best accomplished as follows:
1) Turn the power OFF.
2) Turn the power ON.
3) Press NOTCH.
A flashing
"R" will appear under the IRON-1 segment.
4) Press the DISCRIMINATION touch pad several times.
Notice that the
"R" moves upon each press of the
DISCRIMINATION touch pad.
5) Press NOTCH again.
The flashing "R" will become permanently illuminated.
If an object has been
“notched-out”, you can return it to detection
status. To
“un-notch” a category:
1) Press NOTCH.
2) Move the flashing “R” over the permanently illuminated
“R”, using the DISCRIMINATION or touch pads.
3) Press NOTCH again.
The ITD (Instant Target Discrimination) control is a convenient way to
eliminate a known undesirable metal object from detection.
To demonstrate the ITD control
:
1) Set the detector in All-Metal Mode
Note: ITD functions in all motion modes, but is best demonstrated
first from the All-Metal Mode.
2) Pass the search coil over an undesirable object.
3) Notice the Target Indication
Note: You can only ITD objects that register under the
seven left-most segments (from Iron to Zinc).
The table below list some common approximate target value
equivalents. With experience in the filed, you will recognize
many types of metals by their numeric value.

THREE DIGIT TARGET
INDICATOR
The three digit target indicator, in the middle of the LCD display,
provides a specific target value to help identify buried targets more
accurately. With practice in the field, you will learn to associate target
values with the probable identification of buried objects. The target
value can vary each time the coil passes over the target, depending
upon the angle of the object and the distance from the coil. As a
starting point, refer to the table below.
4) Press ITD. An "R" appears under the segment to be eliminated.
5) Pass the search coil over the same object again.
The undesirable object is eliminated from detection
The ITD control is easy to use in the field. As you are detecting, and encounter
an object which you wish to eliminate from detection, simply press the ITD
touch pad after detecting the object.
The ITD control eliminates the most-recently detected object category from
detection. The category eliminated is indicated with an "R".
Since long-buried objects can appear exactly like the surrounding soil, the
process of finding the exact location of a small object, such as a coin, can be
time-consuming and frustrating. Objects buried many inches deep present
an especially daunting challenge. In addition, during the unearthing process,
care must be taken not to damage valuable relics. The best solution to these
problems is the no-motion PINPOINT mode.
At any time during operation, press the PINPOINT touch pad, and the detector
enters the no-motion mode. In the PINPOINT mode, any object in the coil’s
detection field will induce a monotone hum. The location of a coin-sized object
can be discerned with pinpoint accuracy by narrowing the detection field as
described on page 21.
Be sure that the detector is properly GROUND BALANCED before using the
PINPOINT MODE. See page 19 for manual ground balancing instructions. Also,
consult page 21 for proper no-motion field techniques.
The Target Identification and Target Depth
indicators are disabled in this mode. To
discern the identification and depth of an
object, you must use one of the motion
modes of operation.
Using headphones (not supplied) with your
metal detector makes it easier to identify
subtle changes in the threshold levels for
better detection results, and also reduces
drain on the batteries. The Titan 3000 XD
Metal Detector has a stereo headphone
jack located at the rear of the case.
This device is to be used with interconnecting
cables/headphone cables shorter than three meters.

While the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is very accurate in identifying buried
objects, the user in the field does not always maintain the display screen in his
field of vision. Therefore, we have incorporated an audio feedback mechanism
to alert the user to the nature of buried objects. This audio feedback system first
alerts the user to the presence and classification of objects, whose nature and
location can be confirmed using the LCD display.
The detector can sound four different tones, depending on the object detected.
Audio Target Identification (ATI) classifies metals into four categories.
BASS TONE
Nails, Iron Objects,
& Smallest Gold Objects
LOW TONE
Pull Tabs, Nickels,
& Smaller Gold
MEDIUM TONE
Zinc Pennies (Post 1982),
Larger Gold Objects, Many
screw caps
HIGH TONE
Copper, Silver & Brass
Copper Pennies (Pre 1982)
BASS TONE
Ferrous objects, such as iron and steel, will
induce a bass tone.
The smallest gold objects can also induce a
bass tone.
LOW TONE
Pull-Tabs, nickels & smaller gold
MEDIUM TONE
Newer pennies (post-1982), larger gold
objects, zinc, small brass objects, and most
bottle screw caps will induce medium tones.
Many recent vintage foreign currencies will
induce medium tones.
HIGH TONE
Silver and copper coins, larger brass objects,
older pennies (pre-1982), and highly oxidized
metals will induce high tones. Quarters,
dimes and other precious coins fall into this
category.
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) shows the
PROBABLE identification of the targeted
metal, as well as the PROBABLE depth of
the target, in inches.
The detector will register a repeating,
unchanging target identification when
a buried target has been located and
identified. If, upon repeated passes over
the same spot, the target identification
reads inconsistently, the target is probably
a trash item, or oxidized metal. With
practice, you will learn to unearth only the
repeatable signals.
The segment identifications are highly
accurate, when detecting the objects
described on the label. However, if you
register in a given category for an unknown
buried object, you could be detecting
a metallic object other than the object
described on the label, but with the same
metallic signature. Also, the greater the
distance between the target and the coil, the
less accurate the target identification.
GOLD TARGETS: Gold objects will
register on the left side of the LCD scale.
Gold will register depending upon its
size. The smaller the gold object, the
further to the left it will register.
Gold flakes will register under Iron-1
Small gold items will register under Iron
or 5¢/PT.
Medium-sized gold items will register
under PT or S-cap.
Large gold items will register under S-
cap or Zinc.
SILVER TARGETS: Silver objects will
register to the right of the scale, under
25¢, 50¢, or $1, depending on the size
of the object. The larger the object, the
farther to the right it will register.
IRON: Ferrous objects will register on
the far-left side of the target identification
scale. 1, 2, or 3 indicates the relative
size of iron objects. Small nails, for
instance, will usually illuminate the
Iron-1 arrow whereas large structural
ferrous objects will usually illuminate
the Iron-3 arrow.
Objects in this category could be worthless
scrap, or a more valuable iron relic.
5c/PT: Nickels and most newer pull-
tabs(those that stay attached to the
can) will register here.
PT(pull-tabs): Pull-tabs from older
beverage cans will register here. Few
newer pull-tabs will also register here.
Many gold rings will also register here.
S-CAP: Older screw caps from glass
bottles will register here. Large gold rings,
like a class ring, could also register here.
Some non-U.S. coins of recent vintage
will also register here.
ZINC: Newer pennies (post-1982) will
register here. Many non-U.S. coins of
recent vintage will also register here.
Cu10¢: Dimes and pre-1982 pennies will
register here. Older, pre-1982, pennies are
composed of copper, which has a metallic
signature similar to a dime. Most copper
coins will register here.
Caution: The target indications are
visual references. Many other types of
metal can fall under any one of these
categories. While the Titan 3000 XD will
eliminate or indicate the presence of most
common trash items, it is impossible to
accurately classify ALL buried objects.
The Depth Indicator is accurate for
coin-sized objects. It indicates the
depth of the target, in inches. Large
and irregularly-shaped objects will yield
less reliable depth readings
When passing over an object, the
depth indicator will light up and stay
illuminated until another object is
scanned. Repeated indication at the
same depth level indicates an accurate
target detector. If the depth indication
varies with each sweep, try sweeping
at different angles; there may be more
than one target present. With practice,
you will learn the difference between
accurate readings, multiple targets, and
highly erratic readings which evidence
trash or irregularly shaped objects.

ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE
The principle use for the Sensitivity
Control is to eliminate Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI).
A hobby metal detector is an extremely
sensitive device; the search coil
creates its own magnetic field and
acts like an antenna. If your detector
beeps erratically when the search coil
is motionless, the unit is probably
detecting another electromagnetic
field.
Common sources of EMI are electric power lines, both suspended and buried,
motors, and household appliances like computers and microwave ovens. Some
indoor electronic devices, such as dimmer switches used on household lighting,
produce severe EMI and can cause the detector to beep erratically. Other metal
detectors also produce their own electromagnetic fields; so if detecting with a
friend, keep two metal detectors at least 20 feet apart.
If the detector beeps erratically, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY by pressing the
Sensitivity Pad on the left of the control panel.
SEVERE GROUND CONDITIONS
A secondary use for the Sensitivity Control is to reduce false detection signals
caused by severe ground conditions. While your Titan 3000 XD contains
circuitry to eliminate the signals caused by most naturally occurring ground
minerals, 100% of all ground conditions cannot be anticipated. Highly magnetic
soils found in mountainous and gold-prospecting locations can cause the
detector to emit tones when metal objects are not present. High saline content
soils and sands can sometimes cause the detector to false.
If the detector emits false, non-repeatable, signals, REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY.
MULTIPLE TARGETS
If you suspect the presence of deeper targets beneath a shallower target, reduce
the sensitivity to eliminate the detection of the deeper targets, in order to properly
locate and identify the shallower target.
To selectively eliminate a category from detection within the metallic
spectrum, use the NOTCH Mode
.
Technical Note:
The NOTCH touch pad causes the status of an "R" segment to
toggle between
ON and OFF.
To use the NOTCH Mode
:
The NOTCH touch pad can be depressed at any time. But for
first-time use, place the detector in ALL-METAL mode
.
A first demonstration is best accomplished as follows:
1) Turn the power OFF.
2) Turn the power ON.
3) Press NOTCH.
A flashing
"R" will appear under the IRON-1 segment.
4) Press the DISCRIMINATION touch pad several times.
Notice that the
"R" moves upon each press of the
DISCRIMINATION touch pad.
5) Press NOTCH again.
The flashing "R" will become permanently illuminated.
If an object has been
“notched-out”, you can return it to detection
status. To
“un-notch” a category:
1) Press NOTCH.
2) Move the flashing “R” over the permanently illuminated
“R”, using the DISCRIMINATION or touch pads.
3) Press NOTCH again.
The ITD (Instant Target Discrimination) control is a convenient way to
eliminate a known undesirable metal object from detection.
To demonstrate the ITD control
:
1) Set the detector in All-Metal Mode
Note: ITD functions in all motion modes, but is best demonstrated
first from the All-Metal Mode.
2) Pass the search coil over an undesirable object.
3) Notice the Target Indication
Note: You can only ITD objects that register under the
seven left-most segments (from Iron to Zinc).

The detector defaults to ALL METAL mode after powering on. In this mode,
all types of metals will be detected. An object’s PROBABLE identification is
indicated by the arrows at the top of the display. In addition, the
PROBABLE
depth of coin-sized objects is indicated by the rectangular segment indicators
on the left side of the display. All detected objects will cause the depth indicator
to illuminate. The depth indication is not accurate for larger objects; however,
it will provide accurate relative depth indications. The greater the distance an
object is from the search coil, the greater
its depth value.
Pressing this touch pad will cause
the detector to toggle between two
operating modes, DISCRIMINATION and
ALL-METAL. If the detector is in the
ALL-METAL mode (the default mode),
pressing the touch pad will change the detector into DISCRIMINATION mode.
If the detector is in the DISCRIMINATION mode, pressing the touch pad will
change the detector into ALL-METAL mode
.
Discrimination is used to eliminate unwanted objects from detection.
To enter this mode, from ALL-METAL mode, press the DISC/A-M touch pad.
After pressing
DISC/A-M, the detector will:
• Beep twice
• Display 3
"R"s under the left-most segments, Iron 1, 2 & 3
Ferrous objects will not be detected in DISCRIMINATION mode.
Heavily oxidized ferrous objects and very large iron objects will sometimes,
however, be detected, usually with a high tone and an indication to the right
of the target indentification scale.
To increase the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION
touch
pad. Each time the pad is depressed, an additional "R" will appear, thus
eliminating from detection the objects which fall into the corresponding
categories.
To decrease the level of discrimination, press the DISCRIMINATION
touch pad. Each time the pad is depressed, an illuminated "R"
will disappear, thus returning to detection the objects which fall into the
corresponding categories.
Discrimination Mode is a fixed-start-point elimination system. Objects are
cumulatively eliminated as the level of discrimination increases.
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by “X-ing”
the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated by
a good tone response, continue
sweeping the coil over the target
in a narrowing side-to-side pat-
tern.
2. Take visual note of the place on the
ground where the “beep” sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this spot
on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight for-
ward and straight back towards
you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the spot
on the ground at which the “beep”
sounds.
6. If needed, X the target at
different angles to “zero in” on the
exact spot on the ground at which
the “beep” sounds.
When swinging the coil, be careful
to keep it level with the ground about
one inch from the surface. Never
swing the coil like a pendulum.

All display segments will

The SENSITIVITY and
BATTERY indicators will

Depending on the operation mode selected, the Titan 3000 XD detects metal
both with the coil in motion, or with the coil motionless. In the PINPOINT
mode of operation, metal is detected with the coil motionless over the
ground. This no-motion operation helps to locate the exact location of buried
objects, and is very useful in understanding the size and shape of buried
metal objects. The PINPOINT mode offers deeper ground penetration, but
cannot classify targets, nor indicate their depth.
The other operating modes require the coil to be in motion to detect a target.
When in the DISCRIMINATION, ALL-METAL or NOTCH modes, the coil
must be in continuous motion. It is often useful to search for targets in a
motion mode, and when identified, pinpoint their location with the PINPOINT
control.
At its default sensitivity setting, the detector will detect a coin-sized object,
such as a quarter, buried approximately seven inches deep. To change the
sensitivity level, and thus the detection depth, press the SENSITIVITY or
keys. The 6-segment scale at the left of the display, above “coin depth”,
indicates the sensitivity level when these touch pads are depressed.
At higher sensitivity levels, the detector is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference from electronic devices. Reduce sensitivity if demonstrating
indoors or if using near power lines or electrical equipment. Reduce
sensitivity if detector emits false signals.

Swing the search coil slowly,
overlapping each sweep as you move
forward. It is important to sweep the
coil at a consistent speed over the
ground as you search. After identifying
a target, your sweep technique can
help in identifying both the location
and the nature of the target. If you
encounter a weak signal, try moving
the coil in short, rapid sweeps over the
target zone; such a short rapid sweep
may provide a more consistent target
identification.
Most worthwhile objects will respond
with a repeatable tone. If the signal
does not repeat after sweeping the
coil directly over the suspected target
a few times, it is more than likely trash
metal.
Crossing the target zone with multiple
intersecting sweeps at multiple
angles is another way to verify the
repeatability of the signal, and the
potential of the buried target. To use
this method, walk around the target
area in a circle, sweeping the coil
across the target repeatedly, every 30
to 40 degrees of the circle, about ten
different angles as you walk completely
around the target. If a high-tone target
completely disappears from detection
at a given angle, chances are that you
are detecting oxidized ferrous metals,
rather than a silver or copper object.
If the tone changes at different angles,

Depth and Target indicator do not lluminate in this mode.
One monotone sound indicates the presencce of any type of metal.
objects. If you are new to the hobby,
you may want to dig all targets at
first. With practice in the field, you
will learn to better discern the nature
of buried objects by the nature of the
detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False
signals occur when the detector
beeps, but no metal target is present.
False signals can be induced by
electromagnetic interference,
oxidation, or highly mineralized
ground soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the signal
with several additional sweeps over
the same spot, there is probably no
target present.
When searching very trashy ground,
it is best to scan small areas with
slow, short sweeps. You will be
surprised just how much trash
metal and foil you will find in some
areas. The trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people, and
frequently hold the most promise for
finding the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the surface of
the ground, without making contact
with the ground. Making contact
with the ground can cause false
signals.

I. Supplies Needed
• A Nail A Quarter
• A Pull-Tab from a beverage can • A Zinc Penny (dated after 1982)
II. Position the Detector
a. Place the detector on a
table, with the search coil
hanging over the edge.
(or better, have a friend
hold the detector, with
the coil off the ground)
b. Keep the search coil away
from walls, floors, and
metal objects.
c. Remove watches, rings and other jewelry or metal objects
from hands and wrists.
d. Turn off appliances or lights that cause electromagnetic interference.
e. Pivot search coil back toward the detector body.
III. Power Up
Press the ON touch pad.
IV. Wave each Object over the Search Coil
a. Notice a different tone for each object.
Base Tone: Nail
Low Tone: Pull-Tab
Medium Tone: Zinc Penny
High Tone: Quarter
b. Motion is required. Objects must be
in motion over the search coil to be
detected.
V. Press the MODE touch pad
The detector will beep twice and an “R”
will appear under the iron indicator.
Quick-Start Demo continued on next page
Before using the PINPOINT mode, it is necessary to “Ground Balance” your
detector, this ground balancing adjustment offsets the effects of minerals
and salts in the ground.
To GROUND BALANCE your detector:
1. Using the ALL-METAL mode, find a patch of ground which is free of
metal objects. You will use this section of ground to test the detector.
The presence of any metal objects in this area will interfere with this
procedure.
2. Begin with the ground balance
KNOB in the PRESET position.
3. Lift the search coil waist high in the air.
4. Press the PINPOINT touch pad.
5. Lower the search coil to the ground,
maintaining it elevated about 1/2 inch above
the surface (be sure that this ground does
not contain metal).
• If the detector emits sound with the search coil 1/2 inch over the
ground, further ADJUSTMENT IS NECESSARY.
