Note: You will want to adjust the pole length and the searchcoil angle to your 
preference.

 

 

 

 

ADJUSTING THE POLE & SEARCHCOIL 

The pole length should be adjusted so that the detector does not 
become uncomfortable or tiring after long periods of use. The 
detector grip should rest in your hand with your arm relaxed, your 
elbow straight but not locked, with the pole extending out in front of 
you at the approximate angle shown in the photo.  

You should be able to swing the detector back and forth in front of 
you—using relaxed 

shoulder movement

—while keeping the 

searchcoil as close to the ground as possible. This swinging 
movement is often called a “sweep.”  

The searchcoil should not touch the ground during your sweep. The 
pole length should be adjusted to allow this without having to lift the 
detector with your elbow or shoulder. The searchcoil should rest 
about one inch above the ground while you are standing erect. The 
angle of the searchcoil should allow the bottom to be parallel to the 
ground.  

The pole length is adjusted by loosening the pole lock, then 
depressing the spring buttons and extending or shortening the pole until the spring buttons click 
into the set of holes that give you the most comfortable pole length.  

To adjust the searchcoil angle, simply loosen the searchcoil thumb nut slightly and move the 
searchcoil into the desired position. Tighten the searchcoil thumb nut by hand so that the 
searchcoil will hold in place.
