recognize the difference between signals that occur at random and
signals that are stable and repeatable.
To reduce false signals when searching very trashy ground, scan
only a small area at a time using slow, short overlapping sweeps.
DETECTION HINTS
No detector is 100 percent accurate. Various conditions influence
metal detection. The detector’s reaction depends on a number of
things:
The angle at which the object rests in the ground
The depth of the object
The amount of iron in the object
The size of the object
PINPOINTING A TARGET
Accurately pinpointing a target makes digging it up easier.
Accurate pinpointing takes practice, and we suggest you practice
finding and digging up small metal objects on your own property
before you search other locations.
Sometimes, targets are difficult to accurately locate due to the
sweep direction. Try changing your sweep direction to pinpoint a
target.
Follow these steps to pinpoint a target.
