OWNER’S MANUAL
Your Lone Star Metal Detector is an advanced microprocessor-controlled metal
detector. This motion detection system requires movement over an object in
order for the machine to detect the object and emit a tone.
THE LONE STAR HAS TWO TYPES OF OPERATING MODES:
1. ALL METAL DETECTION
All types of metals will be detected. From nails and property markers, to
valuable treasure, all types of metal will induce a single tone.
2. DISCRIMINATE, NOTCH, and AUTO NOTCH modes
Completely eliminate iron and trash items from detection in “DISC” mode,
with the use of the DISC/NOTCH knob.
Automatically eliminate most pull tabs and trash items from detection in
the AUTO NOTCH mode.
FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY:
• If demonstrating indoors, beware of interference from electromagnetic
fields.
• If interference occurs, the detector will chatter or beep erratically.
• To avoid interference, turn the sensitivity down.
DO NOT TEST ON THE FLOOR
Most floors contain metal, which will interfere with the target’s signal.

INTRODUCTION
The Lone Star is an advanced technology metal detector, designed for a variety
of applications including coinshooting, relic hunting, and general purpose
detecting.
Before using your Lone Star, it is important to read these instructions. This
manual's description of detection
concepts and types of metals is
necessary to avoid frustration if
you are new to the hobby of metal
detecting.
Terminology
Elimination — Reference to a metal or
target being "eliminated" means that
the detector will not emit a tone nor
light up an LCD indicator when an
object is in the coil’s detection field.
Discrimination — 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 objects.
Iron — Iron is a common, low-grade
metal which is often an undesirable
target. Examples of undesirable iron
objects are old cans, pipes, bolts,
and nails.
Relic — A relic is an aged object of
historical significance. Note that
many relics are made of iron, an
otherwise undesirable object in
some metal detecting applications.
Pull-tabs and Trash Items —
Discarded pull-tabs from beverage
containers are the most bothersome
items for professional and hobby
metal detectorists. These items are
generally constructed of aluminum,
iron, or steel. We have
therefore incorporated
special features into
the Lone Star to
eliminate these
targets or to alert
you to their possible
presence.

Assembling your Lone Star Metal
Detector is easy and requires no tools.
Just follow these steps:
●
1 Using the supplied bolt and knurled
knob, attach the search coil to the
lower stem.
●
2 Press the button on the upper end
of the lower stem and slide the
lower stem into the upper stem.
Adjust the stem to a length that
lets you maintain a comfortable
upright posture, with your arm
relaxed at your side.
●
3 Wind the search coil cable around
the stem. Leave enough slack in the
cable to let you adjust the coil when
you are hunting on uneven ground.
Then tighten the knob at the end of
the search coil.
Note:
To adjust the coil,
simply loosen the knob.
●
4 Insert the coil’s plug into the
matching connector on the control
housing. Be sure the holes and
pins line up correctly.
Caution:
• Do not force the plug in.
Excess force will cause damage.
• To disconnect the cable, pull on the
plug. Do not pull on the cable.
