Coil Movement - Teknik GC1035 Manual

2. Take visual note of the place on the ground where the "beep" sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight forward and straight back towards you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the "beep" sounds.
6. If needed, cross sweep the target in "X" pattern at different angles to "zero in" on the
exact spot on the ground at which the "beep" sounds.

COIL MOVEMENT

When swinging the coil, be careful to keep it level
Correct
with the ground about 1-1.5cm from the surface.
Never swing the coil like a pendulum. Raising the
search coil while sweeping or at the end of a sweep
Wrong
will cause false reading.
When searching, it's better you sweep the search
coil from side to side in an arc line of 7-8cm motion.
Swing the search coil slowly, 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 valuable 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 at multiple 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, you may have
encountered multiple objects. If you are new to the hobby, you may want to dig all targets
at first. With practice in the field, you will learn to better discern the nature of buried
objects by the nature of the detector's response.
You may encounter some false signals as you proceed. False signals occur when the
