7.2 Ground Scan
This operating mode allows you to do a measurement with graphical representation whereby all
measured values will be stored in the internal memory of the device. Also you have the possibility to
recall and see previous stored graphics. This mode can be used with all antennas except the DDV
system.
The Ground Scan mode is your primary function. This is the mode where you are going to find the
targets and locate areas of disturbed soils. When something is buried, then whoever buried it had to dig
a hole. Look for the disturbance in the soil first. If a hole was created at 4½ feet (1.5m) deep, after a
couple of seasons the hole will appear to be over 6 ft (2m) in diameter at the surface. Start with a scan
that has an impulse approximately every 1½ to 2 feet (40cm – 60cm) forward and to the sides. Don't go
too fine on the first scans until you have a possible anomaly. Look for the holes! Usually without a hole
you could be looking at mineralization.
