In The Field Techniques
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”,
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.
PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by
“X-ing” the target area.
1.
Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over
the target in a narrowing
side-to-side pattern.
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, “X” the target at
different angles to “zero in” on
the exact spot on the ground at
which the “beep” sounds.
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with the
ground about one inch from the
surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum.

Adjusting the Armrest
Most people will find the standard
position of the arm rest very
comfortable. Very large forearms and
short forearms (particularly children’s
arms), can be accommodated by
moving the arm rest forward.
The armrest may be moved forward or
backwards by removing the single
screw and nut, and then repositioning
the 2-piece armrest. Users with shorter
arms may find the armrest more
comfortable in the forward position. In
order to move the armrest backwards,
the plastic plug must be removed from
the aluminum tube.
Armrest Strap
(optional accessory)
The strap is available for purchase as a
separate accessory. Some users prefer to
use the strap when swing the detector
vigorously, in order to hold the detector
secure against the arm.
The detector can also be used without the
strap, with no compromise to detector
balance and stability under most
conditions.
