Sensitivity
SENSITIVITY - Set the sensitivity at a level that does not result in
false signals from the ground. Very strong ground may result in the
symbol on screen and a loud sound - this means the sensitivity is too
high.
GROUND BALANCE - With the default setting, the detector will use
XGB to automatically ground balance. Tap to lock the ground
balance to the current setting. Tapping when the ground balance is
locked will update the current ground setting to what is under the coil.
GROUND SCAN - Hold to put the detector into Ground Scan mode.
The top bar displays the ground strength and the two digit numbers
display the ground type (phase). Useful for tracing paystreaks.
IRON CANCEL - Tap to silence hot rocks, trash and mineral
changes in both audio modes. Hold to select the Iron Cancel setting
(1 bar is default). Note that this setting may decrease the detector’s
sensitivity to very small gold, but is necessary in difficult ground
conditions.
VOLUME and THRESHOLD - Tap to adjust the volume with the up
and down buttons. Hold to adjust the threshold with the up and
down buttons (“th” displays on screen). Set these to a comfortable level
for your hearing and preference.
AUDIO MODE - With the displayed on screen, the detector is in
“BEEP” audio mode (high tone = good target, low tone = bad target).
The default setting (without on screen) is a traditional All-Metal
audio mode with greater sensitivity to small targets.
SAT - SAT can smooth out ground inconsistencies. Hold to adjust it
(“Sa” displays on screen, 2 is the default setting).
PINPOINT - Hold for non-motion pinpoint mode. In difficult
ground this mode may be affected by mineralization.
BACKLIGHT - Tap to enable the backlight (this reduces battery life).
FREQUENCY SHIFT - Hold when turning the detector on to shift
frequency (useful when there is EMI). Power off to save the selection.
FACTORY RESET - Hold when turning the detector on to perform a
factory reset.
NOTE: Black REGULAR text = button TAP,
Blue ITALIC text = button HOLD

XGB TECHNOLOGY
WARRANTY
XGB TECHNOLOGY is a patent-pending automatic ground balance
system. It is purpose-built for operating a high-frequency VLF gold
nugget detector in the worst ground conditions.
Traditional VLF detectors struggle to balance rapidly changing
ground mineralization. Historically this has been where Pulse
Induction machines fared much better.
With XGB technology, the Goldmaster 24k is able to track small
changes in soil composition as well as longer-term shifts in both
ground phase and strength. This allows it to operate in ground that
traditional VLFs struggle in.
Users have extended control over the range of XGB in the
Goldmaster’s All-Metal mode. Simply enable Iron Cancel to
expand the ground filter in moderate soils. In very challenging soil
conditions, hold the Iron Cancel button and select the 2-bar setting
for maximum performance in variable ground.
