When you locate a target with your
primary detector, before digging a
hole, use the Bullseye TRX to scan
the surface of the ground. Do this
by pointing the unit straight down
and moving it around the suspected
area. Often the target will be less
than 3” deep and can be detected
with the Bullseye TRX, making
recovery easier.
If a surface scan doesn’t detect the
target, dig an appropriate plug or
flap cut in the turf. Use the Bullseye
TRX to scan both the plug (or flap)
and down into the hole. In some
cases, a coin on edge will be
difficult to pinpoint and may be in
the sidewall of the hole. Be sure to
scan the walls of the hole.
Be mindful of proper digging
techniques when extracting the
target. Use the smallest appropriate
digging tool, especially in public
areas. Learn to cut plugs that avoid
turf damage or, better yet, how to
“pop” coins using only a
screwdriver. There are numerous
videos on YouTube that
demonstrate good target extraction
protocol.
Locating and Digging
The Bullseye TRX’s area of
detection is concentrated
around the tip, making it easy
to zero in on the target.
Coins that are
on edge are
often in the
wall of the
hole. As the tip
is lowered into
the hole, the
peak response
is produced as
the tip passes
the coin.
When scanning a dirt pile,
hold the Bullseye TRX at an
angle between 90°
(perpendicular) and 45°.
