Searching an Area
When searching an area, the first thought is always to do the whole area in one shot.
We recommend breaking up the area into smaller pieces if it is a large area (Figure
4.10). For example if the area to be searched is the size of a football field, we
suggest cutting it up into several sections so that your scans can be more accurate
with less chance of error. The search pattern is very easy to do and as mentioned
previously, 90% of the work is performing a proper grid.
Suppose in the drawing above that the area in the red is the total area to search. In
this example, we will say that the width of the field is 50 yards or 50m and the
length is 100 yards or 100m. By breaking up the scans into smaller sections, like the
area in the green, you can search much quicker with better data. Be sure to mark off
the areas already searched and to enter the data into the comments in the scan itself.
Also, make note on the fields so in the event that you find an object in section 4 you
will be able to return directly to section 4 rather than having to repeat the entire
process again.
