Hold the detector so the searchcoil is

5. Place a sample of the material you
want the detector to find (such as
a gold ring or a coin) on the
ground. (If you are using valuable
metal such as gold to test the
detector, mark the area where you
placed the item, to help you find it
later. Do not place it in tall grass or
weeds).
6. While holding the searchcoil level
to the ground, about 1–2 inches
above the surface, slowly move it
over the area where you placed
the sample, sweeping in a side-to-
side motion.
Never sweep the searchcoil as if it
were a pendulum. Raising the
searchcoil while sweeping or at
the end of a sweep will cause false
readings. And sweep slowly —
hurrying will cause you to miss tar-
gets.
