tips for Searching in Different
environments
There are many factors which
influence the sensitivity and accuracy
of detecting objects, including the
angle, depth, size and oxidation
of the target object. Various soil

electromagnetic and electrical
interference surrounding the target

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:
