can find the target more easily. Sweep
-
ing with the side of the coin parallel with
the search coil will cause test error, and
target arrow might be flash and jump.
5. In ALL METAL Mode, move a test sam
-
ple over the flat side of search coil at
a higher location (above than 1 foot)
slowly close to the search coil. The de
-
tector emits a tone when detects the
target, and DEPTH indicator shows rel
-
ative value. All samples sound one tone
in this mode.
OUTDOOR TEST
AND PRACTICE
PINPOINTING (non-motion mode)
Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is
best accomplished by crossing sweep the
target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated by
a clear tone response, continue sweep
-
ing the coil over the target in a narrow
-
ing side-to-side motion.
2. Take visual note of the place on the
ground where the “beep” sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this spot on
the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight forward and
straight back towards you a couple of
times.
5. Again make visual note of the spot on
the ground at which the “beep” sounds.
6. If needed, cross sweep the target in „X”
pattern at differe
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be careful to keep
it level with the ground about 1-1.5cm
from the surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum. Raising the search coil while
sweeping or at the end of a sweep will
cause false reading.
When searching, it’s better you sweep the
search coil from side to side in an arc line
of 7-8cm motion.
Swing the search coil slowly, overlapping
each sweep as you move forward. It is
important to sweep the coil at a consist
-
ent speed over the ground as you search.
After identifying a target, your sweep tech
-
nique can help in identifying both the lo
-
cation and the nature of the target. If you
encounter a weak signal, try moving the
coil in short, rapid sweeps over the target
zone. Such a short rapid sweep may pro
-
vide a more consistent target identification.
