   tips for Searching in Different 

environments

There are many factors which 

influence the sensitivity and accuracy 

of detecting objects, including the

of the target object. Various soil 

or seawater conditions, and also 

electromagnetic and electrical 

interference surrounding the target 

can also affect readings. Other metal 

detectors in the area will also cause 

interference, so when there is more

at least 10 yards apart. Some ways to 

help increase success are:
