Operating Recommendations; Target Identification - Garrett Metal Detector GTI 1500 Owner's Manual

OPERATING RECOMMENDATIONS

As you walk, scan the searchcoil from side
to side in a straight line or slight arc. Keep
the coil level and at a constant height of
one or two inches above the ground while
you move it at a rate of about one to three
feet per second.
When scanning, do not hurry. Be methodi-
cal. Do not skip any areas. Overlap each
scan sweep at least 25% of the search-
coil's width. Wear headphones to avoid
ambient noises and concentrate on scan-
ning. When you are searching in the Zero
mode, detection of any metal target will be
indicated by a "beep."

Target Identification

Conductivity classification of every target
over which the searchcoil passes will be
indicated by a target cursor on the Upper
Scale. The searchcoil must be centered
over your target to produce accurate size
and depth information.
Highly mineralized soil can occasionally
result in improper conductivity readings.
