STANCE
Stand with your arm extended in front of
your body. Don’t bend or stoop; stand in a
comfortable position. Hold the unit so that
the search coil is about 1/2-inch above the
ground. Adjust the search coil so that it is
parallel to the ground.
SWEEP
Standing in the search position,
swing the search coil gently from
side to side, slightly overlapping
each sweep as you move
forward. Keep your search coil
approximately 1/2-inch above
the ground as you search.
Raising it during the sweep ,
or at the ends of your
sweep, can cause false
readings. Move slowly;
hurrying will cause you
to miss targets.
Most desireable objects will respond with a repeatable tone. When
discriminating, iron and foil objects generally do not respond. False
signals can be caused by trashy ground, electrical interference, or by large
irregular trash objects. These signals are easily recognized by their often
broken or non-repeatable nature.
