Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Musketeer Advantage. This metal detector has been designed for general-purpose treasure hunting and the main features include lightweight construction, sharp target response, simplified controls for easy operation, and substantial depth capabilities.

Your Advantage detector is designed to locate valuable metal objects in high trash areas. These conditions are commonly encountered by treasure hunters in places that have been inhabited for long periods or by armies using the areas as camping grounds or battlefields.

The Advantage detector has been designed to serve the needs of both the speed hunter and the slow motion hunter. Units may be moved at a “rapid hunt” pace or at a much more “leisurely” pace while enjoying the sharp target response in either mode – without sacrificing depth capabilities. You will be surprised at how well the depth capabilities of the Advantage will challenge units currently on the market!

The operating frequency of your Advantage has been set at 5 kHz. This frequency has been chosen for its high level of sensitivity to large ferrous targets as well as coins, jewellery, and other valuable non-ferrous objects, while still being able to accurately discriminate against trash.

With the Advantage detector, Minelab has set out to provide you with a high performance, easily operated, lightweight detector, which is available at a realistic price. To be a successful treasure hunter you must completely understand your detector’s features and operation, research your intended hunt area, and respect the environment while you are hunting. We at Minelab are confident that the Advantage will provide you with hours of enjoyment for all types of hunting; whether it is on the beach, in the country, or in a competition hunt.

If you have any questions or comments we would like to hear from you. Please contact your local Authorised Minelab Dealer or write to us directly.

We wish you every success in your treasure hunting.
