If there is metal, the electromagnetic wavelengths will be absorbed by the
metal and will deplete the signal being emitted. This depletion of signal is
recognized by the circuitry by a phase shift in the coil, depending on the
alloy and size of the metal, the Tracker will then decide if it is to emit no
tone (In Discrimination for iron, etc.), a low tone (nickels, "beaver tails",
gold rings, etc.), or a high tone (silver, copper, brass, etc.)
This is only meant to be an overview of how the Tracker electronics
function. Hopefully, this piques your interest in the wonders of metal
detecting technology.
To truly tap into the full potential of your Tracker, always remember that
…practice makes perfect.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Don't get discouraged if you feel you aren't learning how to operate your
Tracker as quick as you would like. Most of what you'll learn will depend
on how much you practice. There are so many subtle aspects to detecting
that cannot be learned from a book. As you work with your Tracker in the
field, you'll acquire more and more knowledge that will accumulate and
refine your skills with your Tracker.
I feel that no matter how many times I swing a coil, there's always
something new to learn. Mastering the art of metal detecting can take
many years of practice. The many interesting and valuable metal objects
that you will dig up, and the many hours of enjoyment gained from
swinging your Tracker coil, will make the learning process enjoyable and
certainly not a drudgery.
After gaining the confidence in learning how to fully operate your Tracker
and mastering the techniques described in this guide, you will find it easier
to practice because you've bypassed many of the frustrations normally
encountered in the field.
