Pinpointing the Target
When the approximate location of the target has been determined, move
the coil slowly over the target. The audio signal will increase in volume
while moving towards the target and decrease in volume as the coil is
passed away from it. The signal will be loudest when the coil is directly
over the target. Quite often the detector will be producing its maximum
volume for a broad area over the target. This generally indicates that the
target is near the surface or is quite large.
To receive a sharper, more precise signal over the target, it may also be
beneficial to switch to All Metals mode as this will produce a pinpoint
response to the target.
The open design of the Tornado coil makes it easy to mark the ground
directly above the target to aid recovery.
