Armand Automatic Metal Detector

The Armand Automatic is an analog VLF metal detector designed for users who want a simple and practical detector with minimal manual adjustment. Manufactured by Armand in Poland, the Automatic is based on the proven design of the Armand Prospector 4, while simplifying the operation for users who prefer to switch on the detector and start searching.

Operating at 7.8 kHz, the Armand Automatic is a versatile metal detector suitable for searching for coins, jewelry, military artifacts, meteorites, and other metal objects. Its automatic operation makes it particularly suitable for users who do not want to spend time adjusting multiple detector parameters before beginning a search.

The detector provides both Static and Dynamic operating modes, with discrimination available in both modes. A lightweight 1.2 kg construction, 28.5 cm search coil, built-in rechargeable batteries, and straightforward controls make the Automatic suitable for extended field searches.

Simple Automatic Operation

The main advantage of the Armand Automatic is its straightforward operation.

The detector is designed to minimize the need for complicated manual adjustments. After switching it on, the user can begin searching while the detector automatically handles its basic operating conditions.

This makes the Automatic particularly suitable for beginners and for users who prefer a simple metal detector with direct operation rather than a large number of adjustable settings.

 

 

Detection Modes

The Armand Automatic provides two main detection modes:

Static Mode

Static operation can be used for locating and examining metal targets while keeping the search process controlled. The Static mode can be operated with or without discrimination.

Dynamic Mode

Dynamic operation is designed for continuous searching while moving the search coil across the ground. It is suitable for systematic field searches and general-purpose metal detecting.

Both operating modes can be used with discrimination according to the selected search conditions.

 

Metal Discrimination

The Armand Automatic includes a discrimination function that can reduce the response to selected small ferrous objects.

This can be useful when searching in areas containing unwanted iron objects such as small fragments or metal caps. Using discrimination can help reduce the number of unwanted signals and allow the user to concentrate on potentially more relevant targets.

The appropriate discrimination setting depends on the search environment and the type of objects being sought.

 

Applications

The Armand Automatic is designed for a variety of metal detection applications, including:

• Coin hunting

• Jewelry searching

• Treasure hunting

• Military artifact searching

• Meteorite searching

• Historical metal detecting

• General-purpose field exploration

• Searching for small and large metal objects

Actual detection performance and depth depend on target size, target composition, target orientation, soil conditions, mineralization, moisture, search coil position, and detector settings.

 

 

Lightweight Field Design

With a weight of approximately 1.2 kg, the Armand Automatic is designed for comfortable field use.

Its lightweight construction makes it suitable for longer searches, while the practical detector design allows the user to transport and operate the equipment without unnecessary complexity.

The 28.5 cm search coil provides a practical balance between ground coverage and target detection for general-purpose searching.

 

Audio Target Indication

When metal is detected, the Armand Automatic provides an audio signal.

The signal is available through the detector's built-in speaker or through headphones connected to the standard mini-jack socket.

Headphones can be useful when searching in environments where external noise makes it more difficult to hear the detector's audio response.

 

Built-in Rechargeable Power

The Armand Automatic uses built-in rechargeable batteries.

According to the manufacturer, the detector provides approximately 20 hours of operating time. Actual battery life can vary depending on the signal volume, detection conditions, search duration, and use of headphones.

The approximate charging time is 8 hours.
