86 Scanning Techniques
If multiple operators are going to conduct scans, then it should be noted in the Characteristics window
of the Visualizer 3D software as to which operator performed the scan. This way subtle differences
between the operators can be noted.
When working an area that is encompassing a traditional scan, the control scans need to be done in sets
of 3.
Per Figure 8.3 above, the procedures are laid out to conduct the traditional control scan. It is imperative
that the EXACT SAME STARTING POINTS and the EXACT SAME STOPPING POINTS are used. If
the same points are not used then the scans will potentially have errors from the beginning. When
looking for naturally occurring mineralization and deposits thereof, the slightest variable can make the
difference in an accurate detection.
When looking for traditional buried objects this method is also used to ensure that the item is actual.
The only difference is that with a traditionally buried object that the signal values will be greatly
increased for the actual object(s).
