Minelab F3

F3 Operations Manual
35
**WARNING**
Extreme care must be taken when mapping the target to
ensure that the coil does not touch the ground (or any
exposed parts of the mine) or snag on any previously
undetected trip wires.
For large minimum metal anti-tank mines, it is possible
that the area mapped out may be less than the actual
area of the mine.
After an initial detection, if the coil is repeatedly swept
over a small deeply buried target, the response may
fade. If this occurs, move the coil away from the
suspected target and perform an Audio Reset procedure
(Section 4.3.b) then return to the suspected target
location and continue with the pin-pointing procedure.
