The Viking VK40 metal detector is controlled from a microprocessor that
handles automatic operation and mineral cancellation. Offers 3 detection modes,
all with visual metal discrimination on screen:
*Μotion - automatic mode with adjustable audio elimination for trash targets,
the metal detector operates with “motion” of the search coil
Αll Metal – mode of continuous balancing to the changes of the ground conditions,
without interference from minerals, the metal detector operates with a light
motion of the search head.
Νοn Motion – detects in great depth with manual ground balance, the metal detector
search coil does not need to be in “motion” to operate. Useful for detection
of big objects at depth, also for accurate localization of objects and determining
their size.

VK40 LCD screen: analyses target identity with numbers ( 0 – 95 ) and 8 target
categories, different for iron, gold, silver, copper. Also displays information
about detection mode and current search settings.
Offers an easy to access, friendly “menu” for quick selection of ground types,
detection depth and metal rejection, even from a novice !
Console can be removed from stem for discreet detection and minimize of detector

| "On many detector advertisement are found features that admire those people that
never used a detector before...On the VIKING VK40 metal detectors you wont
find the "menu" or the LCD screen loaded with adjustments, only to attract amateurs, features
that proved to be totally useless on the fields"

* NON MOTION operation means that everybody can work at his own speed, and cover
the ground at his own sweep speed. Even motionless the metal detector
gives signals.
* MOTION operation of many metal detectors on the market, means that the detector
head must be kept moving continuously and some times a lot fast
in order to detect. To rocky places, that demand for "motion" creates problems. Also because of the continuous movement the search is not
methodical and valuable targets may be lost.
The NON MOTION mode on the VIKING VK40 is offered for search AND
target pinpoint. On some "MOTION" metal
detectors, there is a pinpoint button, to put them into a "non -motion" mode, but for a limited time (for as long the key is pressed) and without metal
discrimination.
