elbow straight but not locked, and with the pole extending out in front of you at the
approximate angle shown in the photo.
You should be able to swing the detector back and forth in front of you—using relaxed
shoulder movement
—while keeping the searchcoil as close to the ground as possible. This
swinging movement is often called a “sweep.”
The searchcoil should not touch the ground during your sweep. The pole length should be
adjusted to allow this without having to lift the detector with your elbow or shoulder. The
searchcoil should rest about one inch above the ground while you are standing erect. The
angle of the searchcoil should allow the bottom to be parallel to the ground.
The pole length is adjusted by depressing the spring buttons and extending or shortening the
pole until the spring buttons click into the set of holes that give you the most comfortable pole
length.
To adjust the searchcoil angle, simply loosen the searchcoil thumb nut slightly and move the
searchcoil into the desired position. Tighten the searchcoil thumb nut by hand so that the
searchcoil will hold in place.
