7. With the shaft length and coil angle 
properly adjusted, you should be able 
to move into your “search” position (as 
shown on page 3) by leaning forward 
very  slightly  and  raising  your  arm  (still 
straight) until the search coil is about 2 
inches above the ground and 12 inches 
in  front  of  your  foot.  The  search  coil 
should  be  parallel  to  the  ground  and 
may have to be slightly readjusted  at 
this point.
