HELPFUL HINTS
Raising the coil vertically in the air is another method of
reducing the target size (as seen by the detector) and pinpointing
the target. Because the area of greatest sensitivity is in the center
of the search coil, it isvery easy to pinpoint the location of any
metallic object, large or small. Also, see the section on
Pinpointing, beginning on page 12.
1. Hold the search coil about 1 inch or less above
the ground and begin your search by sweeping
back and forth as shown on page 10.
2. Keep the search coil parallel to and as close to
the ground as possible.
3. Overlap your sweeps for uniform depth penetration.
4. Search slowly and systematically. Pay attention
to where you are going and where you have been.
5. During your search, the meter reading should
remain at about 10 for maximum sensitivity. However,
as you pass over changing ground mineralization
or metallic trash, the needle may drift up or down
slightly. A quick push of the RETUNE button will
instantly retune the M-96 to its “threshold” sound.
SEARCHING IN WATER
The search coil is waterproof and the lower handle may be
used in water; however, the water must not contract the cable
connection at the box, nor should the box itself be immersed.
If you are searching in salt water, be sure to flush the lower
handle with fresh water after every use. If not, continual exposure
to salt water may cause the nut to freeze up.
