Discovery 2000 Metal Detector
(630-3007) Features Faxback Doc. # 37702


Your RadioShack Discovery 2000 is designed for versatility in all areas of
treasure hunting. Coin-shooting, relic hunting, and gold nugget shooting
are some of the many ways your detector can be utilized.

Metal Detecting can be a lifelong pursuits available to all ages. The
hobby is completely dependent on the type of equipment being used and the
operator's expertise. With the electronically advanced Discovery 2000
metal detector and diligent practice you will achieve a level of expertise
making the hobby of metal detecting very rewarding. The first step towards
this goal is to carefully read this manual before attempting to operate
your new Discovery 2000 metal detector.

The Discovery 2000's features include:

Dual LCD Display - displays the probable type of metal
being detected and the mode of
operation.

Ultra Slow Sweep
VLF Discrimination - distinguishes between different metals
efficiently, even when the detector is
swung at slow speed.

Three Tone Audio Discrimination - sounds distinctive tones for different
categories of metal objects to make
target identification easier.

THREE MODES OF OPERATION

1. All Metal: detects all types of metal without discrimination.

2. Disc: lets you distinguish between junk and valuable metal objects
while rejecting most junk targets.

3. Auto Notch: automatically rejects most junk targets while retaining
nickels and small gold items.


OPTIONAL ACCESSORY

The best coil to use depends on where and what you will be targeting when
you are in the field. If you are looking for deeply-buried objects, a
medium-sized coil, such as the standard coil that came with your detector,
is more efficient. If you are looking for tiny objects and coin-sized
objects that are not buried too deeply, a 4-inch coil might work better.

The Discovery 4-Inch Coil System (RadioShack Cat. No. 63-3009) is highly
sensitive and offers superior performance when hunting for small objects
(such as gold nuggets or small pieces of jewelry), or in mineralized or
highly trashed areas.

Because of its smaller size, the 4-Inch Coil has a narrower detection field
and is less susceptible to interference from trash items. This makes it
better able to isolate precious metals in trashy areas.

I was figuring probably introduced late 1990's. The platform was revised about 2004 and we're still making it although I don't know if it's still being marketed under the Discovery label.

I felt it was very similar to the Time Ranger's Disc mode in action and depth.
