erratic. Pinpointing is by simply X-ing the coil across the signal.
The position where the signals are strongest below the coil centre
indicates the target position. As with all detectors, when targets
are of complex shape or are located at an angle in the soil,
pin-pointing may not be entirely accurate so it is suggested that,
when digging, the user allows space to avoid possible damage to
finds.
The VCO can be used to indicate the exact position on most
targets by listening to the maximum audible frequency raise.
Tips
Some practice and experimentation with the settings is necessary
to get the best results on different sites.
Users should persist and regular use over a reasonable period is
likely to be needed to become proficient, especially in
successfully locating the very deepest and smallest of targets.
It must always be remembered that no detector can find what is
not there – nor can any detector give a signal unless the coil is
passed directly over that target! There will always be sites on
which any single detector does not work to peak efficiency.
All detectors and sites are different and a particular combination
of frequency and filtering might be best on a specific site,
although the range of accessory coils available for the Nexus
Standard MP V3 will allow effective operation under all conditions
and for all types of targets. Site conditions will significantly affect
depths and performance. Heavily furrowed, broken ground or
thick stubble are all especially difficult ground types to search.
Sites where the ground conditions vary to a considerable degree
may require the Ground Balance to be adjusted from time to time
for best results.
