IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
Swing the search
overlapping each sweep as you move
forward. It is important to sweep the
coil at a consistent speed over the
ground as you search. After identifying
a target, your sweep technique can
help in identifying both the location
and the nature of the target. If you
encounter a weak signal, try moving
the coil in short, rapid sweeps over the
target zone; such a short rapid sweep
may provide a more consistent target
identification.

Most worthwhile objects will respond
with a repeatable tone. If the signal
does not repeat after sweeping the
coil directly over the suspected target
a few times, it is more than likely trash
metal.
Crossing the target zone with multiple
intersecting sweeps
angles is another way to verify the
repeatability of the signal, and the
potential of the buried target. To use
this method, walk around the target
area in a circle, sweeping the coil
across the target repeatedly, every 30
to 40 degrees of the circle, about ten
different angles as you walk completely
around the target. If a high-tone target
completely disappears from detection
at a given angle, chances are that you
are detecting oxidized ferrous metals,
rather than a silver or copper object.
If the tone changes at different angles,
