1. Decide how much trash rejection you want to
use.
a. In relatively non-trashy soil you may wish to search
at zero trash rejection. In this manner, your 1212-X is
at its most sensitive and will detect all metal targets
within its range. Once an object is detected, you
can increase the trash rejection level for further
identification.
b. In trashy areas, it is generally easier to search
at a higher level of trash rejection (at the pull tab
discrimination point for example). This way you will
detect mostly good targets and can lower the
rejection level for pinpointing (zero trash rejection
will produce the strongest signal over small or deep
targets).
2. Search slowly and systematically, sweeping in a
tight semicircle.
3. Keep the coil parallel to, and as close to the
ground as practical. If you’re hunting on a lawn, you
can set the coil right on the grass and search.
4. Overlap your sweeps at least 50%.
5. Search in a methodical manner. Pay close
attention to where you’re going and where you’ve
been.
6. Keep the search coil moving at a comfortable
rate.

Figure 5. Search Pattern.
When the stem is properly
adjusted, the 1212-X is balanced
for sweeping in a tight semi-circle.
Always overlap your sweeps at
least 50%.
