coins (copper, nickel or silver) on the 

ground.  You can also lay gold, brass, 

tin or steel or any metal that you wish

level. 

 note: 

You can extend the life 

of your batteries by using earphones 

(not supplied).  Earphones also make 

it easier to distinguish subtle changes 

in the sounds you are hearing for 

better detection results as well as for 

blocking out some of the area noise.
