Specifications

The Sidewinder is high performance metal detector which utilizes a Hybrid circuit board developed from state of the art surface mount technology. Surface mount is electronic miniaturization, which permits complex circuitries to fit into very small spaces without sacrificing performance, thus eliminating the need for bulky and heavy control boxes. The Sidewinder will satisfy the requirements of the serious detectorist, whether they are experienced or not, by incorporating simplicity and portability together. Don't be fooled by its size, the Sidewinder is capable of delivering peak performance by eliminating those troublesome adjustments and complicated features, creating an extremely simple to operate light weight unit that is compact. The Sidewinder is the first of its kind, built for sport and travel, a grab and go detector that breaks down into three short sections for easy carry on when traveling.

The Sidewinder also utilizes Tesoro's advanced High Gain sensitivity which will provide greater depth in particular environments, plus a higher degree of sensitivity to smaller less conductive targets such as gold jewelry. An expanded ED-120 discriminator is added for greater selectivity of hard to identify targets previously detectable only when hunting in All Metal mode. Since the Sidewinder is so light and compact there is virtually no need to body mount, as we stated it's built to grab and go.

Operating in the Very Low Frequency (VLF) portion of the RF spectrum the Sidewinder is a Transmitter-Receiver (TR) type detector that will provide mineral free operation in both the ALL METAL and DISCRIMINATE modes. The DISCRIMINATE mode is motion based, meaning the searchcoil must be moving in order to find targets. However, the amount of motion is so slight that that pinpointing is often easily accomplished in this mode. The ALL METAL mode is not motion based, meaning the detector will respond to targets even when the searchcoil is being held perfectly still. Often a necessity when pinpointing deep targets.

Designed as a turn on and go all purpose detector, the Sidewinder's automatic ground rejection circuitry is preset to allow operating in virtually any mineralization you might encounter, although operating may be difficult in extreme conditions. A variety of optional searchcoils are available, ranging in sizes from 4 to 11 inches in either concentric or wide scan (Double D) configurations making the Sidewinder versatile in many conditions and hunting situations. A guide to selecting the proper optional coil is included in the section for Field Use.
