LOCATE A TARGET MANUALLY
It is possible to locate a target successfully without using
Pinpoint, however this requires practice� This method may
be required when a desirable target is surrounded by trash�
1. Sweep the coil slowly across the target location keeping
the coil parallel to the ground�
2. Locate the centre of the target by listening for the
loudest target signal response�
3. Make a mental note of the position, or mark a line on
the soil with your shoe or a digging tool�
4. Move to one side so that you can pass the coil over the
target at right angles to your initial direction�
5. Repeat steps 1 and 3 from your new position� The target
is located where the two imaginary lines cross�
Beep!
Make a line where the
strongest signal is heard�
Stand at right-angles to your
initial position and repeat�
The intersection of the two
lines marks the exact location
of the target�
