The detector responds with a signal when it detects most valuable
metal objects. If a signal does not repeat after you sweep the search
coil over the target a few times, the target is probably junk metal.
False signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference,
or large irregular piece of junk metal.
False signals are usually broken or non-repeatable.
In order to detect the target deeply buried, you can adjust the SENS
to a high position. But not to set the level of SENS to Max position,
or the detector will receive interference and false signal from broadcast
antenna and other electronic lines. The detector will have unstable
arrow and irregular tone indications.
Application Hints
Pinpointing The Target
Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier. But it takes
practice. We suggest you practice finding sample on your own property
before you search other locations.
Follow these steps to pinpoint a target.
1. When the detector detects a buried target, continue sweeping the search
coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side motion.
2. Make a visual note of exact spot on the ground where the detector beeps.
3. Stop the search coil directly over this point on the ground. Then move the
search coil straight forward away from you and straight back towards you
a couple of times.
4.
Repeat steps 1~3 at a right angle to the original search line, Make a mark
of
“X” . The target will be directly below the “X” at the point of the beep
response.
