Sweeping
Hints
Keep
the searchcoil
in
a
constant
parallel position
to the
ground
throughout the
sweep.
Move
the searchcoil
slowly from side to side, covering about a 3-foot
area, overlapping
each sweep.
The
threshold
tone should
peak
as
you pass
the
target center.
(Hurrying
will
cause
you
to miss targets.)
Note:
The searchcoil
will not
detect
without motion.
A@
Be
careful
not
to swing
the searchcoil upward at the end of each sweep.
The
swing
up can cause the detector to emit
false
signals.
Keep
the searchcoil
paral-
lel
to the
ground
at all
times but don't touch the
ground.
Hitting
the
ground
may
cause a
false
signal.

Detection
Hints
No detector is 100
percent
accurate. Various
conditions
and objects may
ad-
versely
influence metal
detection.
lts reaction
depends on
a
number
of things:
.
the angle at which
the object rests in
the
ground
.
the size
of the object
.
the amount
of
iron in
the
object
It is helpful
to hunt
areas
twice; the second
time,
go
at
right
angles
to the
first
time, making
an
"X"
pattern.
Note:
The
target
will
be
directly beJ.ow
the
"X"
at the
point
of the
loudest
response.
This
allows
you
to detect
some targets
that
were hidden
the first
time due to the
sweep direction. lf
trash in an
area
is
so heavy
that
you
are
getting
false
signals,
slow
your
sweep
speed and use
shorter sweeps.
