DETECTING TECHNIQUES
Covering the search area
Figure 6.2 and Figure 6.3
• As the user moves forward slowly, the search pattern should
resemble a snaking path.
• To ensure that the ground is thoroughly searched, approach
the area from 3 different directions.
Overlap each sweep
• Each sweep of the coil should overlap the area covered by the
previous sweep to ensure a full coverage of the area being
searched.
• Be aware of the search pattern of the coil being used and
overlap sweeps to take this pattern into account.
• See also Pinpointing Technique, page 44.
