IN THE FIELD TIP FOR USING YOUR Viper
T
RIDENT
2. The
Viper
T
RIDENT
is an Ultra Slow Motion Metal Detector.
When using this detector the coil must be in motion to detect any
target. A sweep speed of about 2 feet per second is perfect. You
can hunt as fast as you want or as your pace dictates.
3. Correct arm position.
Adjust
the lower stem so that your arm
is hanging in a comfortable posi-
tion by your side with the coil
about 1 inch off the ground.
1. Always keep the bottom of the coil level with the ground.
Try
to maintain coil 1 inch off the ground at all times. You do not need
to scrub the ground with the coil.
