• If you are new to metal detecting, start searching in areas
with sandy and loose soil to make it easier to learn how to
use your metal detector, pinpoint and dig targets.
• Keep your searchcoil height about 1 inch above and
parallel to the ground at all times for best detection results.

INCORRECT
SWING
• Swing your searchcoil parallel to plow lines and the
water's edge. This will minimize the negative effects
caused by uneven ground in plowed fields and varying
amounts of moisture near the water. Do not swing the
searchcoil perpendicular to plow lines and the water's edge,
as this may produce abrupt changes in ground response
that can reduce the detector's performance.
• Walk slowly as you scan your searchcoil in a straight line
from side to side at a speed of about 2 to 5 feet per second.
Advance the searchcoil about half the length of the
searchcoil at the end of each sweep.

Overlap Swing
In order to fully search an area, overlap the swings of your searchcoil by
half the length of the coil (about 4.5 inches). Sweep the searchcoil in a
straight line or with a slight arc at a sweep speed of about 3 ft/sec.
