4.5 Multiple Targets
There may be occasions when an operator will encounter multiple
targets. For example, small anti-personnel mines may be laid in a
cluster, or a large anti-tank mine may be surrounded by smaller anti-
personnel mines or booby-traps.
4.5.1 STEP 1 Mapping the Target
Using the procedure described in section 4.4.1, an area enclosing
the multiple targets can be mapped.
Figure 22: Mapping multiple targets
NOTE
To an experienced operator the shape of the mapped area can
indicate whether multiple targets may be present.
4.5.2 STEP 2 Pinpointing Targets
After mapping out a suspicious area that may contain multiple
targets, select pinpointing mode and sweep across the area
approaching from different angles. In this manner separate
alarms may occur indicating the location of different targets.
