SEARCHING Good search techniques are every bit as important as having a good detector. 1. Once your controls are properly set, press and release the P/P touch pad, and move into your search position. Begin your search by walking slowly and sweeping the search coil in a tight semicircle. - Page 14 Unlike other metal detectors, the discrimination settings have little if any effect on the depth capability of the ID Excel.
