In The Field - Bounty Hunter pioneer 101 Instruction Manual

IN THE FIELD

STANCE
Stand with your arm extended only slightly in
front of your body. Don't bend or stoop; stand in
a comfortable position. Hold the unit so that the
search coil is about 1/2-inch above the ground.
Adjust the search coil so that it is parallel to
the ground.
SWEEP
Standing in the search position, swing
the search coil gently from side to side,
slightly overlapping each sweep as you
move forward. Make sure you keep
your search coil approximately
1/2-inch above the ground as you
search. Raising it during the sweep
or at the ends of your sweep will
cause false readings. Move slowly;
hurrying will only cause you to
miss targets.
Most good objects will respond with a good repeatable tone.
When discriminating, iron and foil objects generally do not
respond. False signals can be caused by trashy ground,
electrical interference, or by large irregular trash objects. These
signals are easily recognized by their often broken or
non-repeatable nature.
