Follow these steps to pinpoint a target:
1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search coil over the target in a narrowing
side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps.
3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Then move the search coil straight forward away from you
and straight back towards you a couple of times.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 at a right angle to the original search line. Make a mark of “X”. The target will be directly below the
“X” at the point of the beep response.
Factors That Affect the Detecting
If it’s difficult to get an accurate result, sometimes detecting may be restricted by external factors.
Conditions for the Target Being Detected
The angle of the target buried in the soil.
The depth of the target.
The level of rust on the target.
The size of the target.
Electro-magnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target.
If you detect patiently and correctly and keep practicing, you’ll get satisfactory results.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The following suggestions will help you care for your metal detector so you can enjoy it for years.
Handle the detector gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and the case and will
cause the detector to work improperly.
Use the detector only in normal temperature environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the life of
electronic devices, plus damage the cases of the detector.
Keep the detector away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
Wipe the detector with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use abrasive chemicals,
cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the detector.
