Some user tips:
• The battery should be worn in the backpack supplied. This places
the battery at the furthest practical distance from the coil.
• Ensure that you do not set the shaft length too short.
• If the coil is too close to your body it might detect your pick, the
battery or any other metal which you are carrying. If false signals
are occurring as you sweep the coil, check that they are not
produced by any metal that you are carrying.
• Move the coil closer, and then further away from your body, in
order to check if the signals are coming from items such as your pick
or battery. If they are, you must increase the distance between the
coil and these items.
Motion detection
The GP 3000 is a 'motion' detector. Therefore the
detector must be moving over a target to detect it.
Parallel Sweeping Procedure
Figure 6.1
• The coil should be swept over the ground in a side-to-side
sweeping motion.
• While sweeping the coil, it is important to keep it parallel to, and at
the same height from, the ground at all times. Lightly skidding the
coil across the ground can sometimes help in this, depending on
mineraliz-ation.
• Do not raise the coil at the ends of each sweep as this will reduce
the detection depth and may cause false signals.
