Gold Stinger X5 Search Modes
Gold Stinger X5 metal detector has two different search modes or Detection Modes that the user can use for different detection purposes:
-
All Metals Mode : The general metal detection mode that can be used to detect all kinds of metal , used best for coin shooting or small relic hunting.
-
Discrimination Mode: The detection mode best used for gold prospecting and treasure detection.
-
Pinpointer Mode : this mode pinpoint and find the exact location of potential buried targets during excavation and gives an audible feedback.
1 – Discrimination Mode
This detection mode is a powerful mode for detecting various targets, including buried objects of gold such as gold coins, jewelry and natural gold or deep treasures to an extreme depth.
This detection mode offer great metal discrimination feature for four categories including:
Gold – Precious Metal (non-Ferrous) – Non Precious Metal (Ferrous) – Voids.
In this detection mode the device screen, display a 2D graphical visualization of detected targets signals as variable 2D graph with different color that match specific target type.
In the following table, we show the colors of the 2D graph and the type of targets they correspond to it:
| Graph Color |
Yellow |
Green |
Red |
Blue |
| Target Type |
Gold |
Precious Metal |
Non-Precious Metal |
Voids (Cavity) |
In this detection mode, the prospector can adjust some settings such as Sensitivity and Gain to find large-mass buried targets at extra depths more easily.
2 – All Metal Mode
All Metal detection mode is the preferred mode for detection of small size targets located at the surface at small depths, example includes such as coins and tiny gold nuggets and small relics or jewelry.
In this mode, also Gold Stinger X5 offer a powerful metal discrimination feature that let the prospector know the detected target precisely based on numerical value displayed on its screen called Numerical Target Identity or for short Target ID.
The numerical Target ID is displayed on the screen, accompanied by the Target ID Scale, which is a graduated curve with values ranging from 0 to 90 and divided into three sections of different colors (yellow – red – green).
These three colors corresponding to a specific type of targets, the digital value of the Target ID with color indication gives the prospector a clear idea on the nature of the detected target.
This mode enable user to adjust many variables and settings such as ZB Filter , Hot rocks feature, Turbo Mode and Sensitivity to get best performance for detecting of different targets in various ground conditions and terrain.
3 – Pinpointer Mode
The device integrate Pinpointer functionality through this detection mode to pinpoint and find the exact location of potential buried targets during excavation without need for separate Pinpointer device, user will definitely not lost or miss the location of the targets by using Pinpoint function via Pinpoint button to find the target location as the device gives an acoustic feedback .
ZB Filter
ZB filter provides a healthy search by filtering interference and sounds in mineral soils and wet ground soils. This option is useful to focus the search on precious metals and gold only and ignore the signals of targets made from non-precious metals.
This option can be set within a specific value within a range so that the higher the value, the lower the probability of discovering worthless targets. Therefore, it is possible for the user to set it to filter received signals and increase the probability of detecting valuable targets.
Turbo Mode Option
When using the All Metal detection mode, this option, when activated by user increasing its value, provides the possibility of detecting targets at depths greater by 30%, which increases the possibility of discovering valuable treasures. The sensitivity setting can be lowered or increased depending on the soil structure.
HOT ROCK Option
Hot rocks are any rock or piece of stone that does not contain precious metal mineral (gold, silver, or copper for example), but when passing over it by a metal detector, it gives sound signals similar to the signals of these metals.
This feature of the Stinger X5 metal detector is useful in filtering and reducing these signals in order to obtain more accurate and reliable results and to avoid the detection of valueless metal targets.
Sensitivity Efficiency
As you increase the numbers, it provides extra depth to the device, allowing you to detect gold, coins, objects and jewelry 10% deeper. As you decrease the numbers, it will not affected by the mineral structures in the soil.
Depth Indicator
The device includes a very useful feature for prospectors, which is the possibility of estimating the depth of the detected targets (available in All Metal detection mode) through a simple mechanism that displays the approximate depth of the detected target – for example a golden coin – on screen in centimeters.
Automatic Ground Balance
Gold Stinger X5 automatic ground balance feature is designed in automatic and easy-to-understand English so that a person who has never used a detector can use his professional detector in seconds to find buried targets.
Comfortable Operation
Gold Stinger X5 package is small, lightweight and compact for comfortable carrying during treasure hunting trips, and telescopic 3-parts shafts installation mechanism and lightweight shafts made of Aluminum make holding and using the device in detection comfortable and without any pain in arms even if used for a long period.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the detection depth of your metal detectors?
Our metal detectors vary in detection depth depending on the model and the type of metal being detected. Generally, our detectors can identify targets at depths ranging from a few inches to several feet. For specific models, please refer to the product specifications on our website.
Can I test my metal detector with freshly buried metals?
Freshly buried metals cannot be detected immediately. For a metal detector to sense the buried metal, it needs to disrupt the magnetic field, which requires the metal to remain underground for a certain amount of time.
What is the detection distance of your professional metal detectors?
Professional metal detectors locate metals buried for many years by detecting subtle environmental changes caused by these metals. They utilize bio-energy interaction, ionization technology, electromagnetic field detection, advanced microprocessor analysis, long-term soil disturbance detection, and sensor fusion. The longer the burial time, the easier it is to detect these metals due to more pronounced ion fields and electromagnetic signatures.
What factors affect detection capability?
Several factors can influence detection capability, including:
● Soil Conditions: Mineralization levels and moisture can impact performance.
● Target Size: Larger targets are typically detected at greater depths than smaller ones.
● Detector Settings: Adjusting sensitivity and discrimination can help optimize detection.
What are some practical testing methods for professional metal detectors?
● Field Testing in Historic Sites: Test in areas with known buried metal objects, like historical battlefields or archaeological sites (with permission).
● Using Known Buried Objects: Test in places where long-buried metals are documented, such as old farm fields or construction sites.
● Avoid Air Testing: Do not test with unburied or freshly buried metals. These detectors work by detecting ionization fields around long-buried metals, unlike hobby detectors.
● Avoid Testing Inside Structures: Testing indoors can lead to interference from numerous cables, electrical systems, and other factors that can affect the performance of professional detectors.
How do I maintain my metal detector?
To keep your metal detector in top shape:
● Clean After Use: Remove dirt and moisture from the detector, especially the coil.
● Store Properly: Keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid extreme temperatures.
● Check Batteries: Regularly check and replace batteries to ensure optimal performance.
Can I use my metal detector into the water?
Some of our metal detectors are designed for water use, while others are not. Always check the product specifications to see if your model is waterproof or submersible before using it in water.
What should I do if my metal detector isn't working properly?
If your metal detector isn't working, please follow these steps:
● Send Us a Video: First, send us a video demonstrating how you are using the detector. In 95% of cases, the issue is due to user error.
● Technical Review: Our technical team and the manufacturer will review the video to determine the cause of the issue.
