Motion detection
When detecting using the moving 'Motion Mode', you should sweep the search coil at a constant (fairly slow
and steady) speed, and let the search coil remain parallel with the ground floor surface. Preferred height
distance of the coil from the ground floor surface is about 1/2 inches (1.5cm) directly above the ground
surface.
*For optimum metal detecting performance, never sweep the search coil as if it were a pendulum. Avoid
'angling' the search coil from the detecting ground floor surface.
Most worthwhile metal objects will provide a repeatable signal, if the signal will not be repeated when
hovering over, it is more than likely trash metals (or possibly over-oxidized materials). When a clear
sounding tone is heard, you can get the approximate target type and target depth on the LCD digital display
screen.
Some practice and experience may be needed to develop the proper metal detector 'sweeping' style. Just like
your fingerprint, your sweeping / metal detector scanning movement will develop over time and will help to
optimize your metal detector's performance and your technique in general. If the search coil is swept too
slowly, the unearthed objects may not respond or be recognized by the metal detector -- the same goes if you
sweep too quickly past the objects. Another re-sweep or 'pass-over' can always help confirm the presence of
an existing metal but a unique and ideal sweeping style is what you're after. Proper scanning also involves
smooth, even swipes of the search coil, that includes overlapping already partially scanned areas as you
