The exact location of a target can be determined
by Pinpointing.
Once the approximate target location is known:
1 Switch the detector to Pinpoint/All Metals mode.
2 Move the coil slowly over the target. The audio tone
will increase in volume while moving towards the
target and decrease in volume as you pass it. The tone
will be loudest when the coil is directly over the target.
Quite often the detector will be producing its
maximum volume for a broad area over the target.
This generally indicates that the target is near the
surface or is quite large.
3 Taking note of the response, reduce the span of each
successive pass of the coil until you are confident of
the location of the target. 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. When
the detector sounds you should know exactly where
to dig. (pg. 32)
