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
(Section 4.3.b) then return to the suspected target
location and continue with the pin-pointing procedure.
