Locate the target object
Exact location of the target object make it easier to dig it up, but it takes practice.
We encourage you to practice on your own property before you search elsewhere. Observe
the following points in order to locate a target object:
1. If the detector has found a buried target, continue to swivel the search head above the
target in a narrowing movement from side to side.
2. Make a mark at the exact point where the detector beeps.
3. Hold the search ring directly over this point. Then move the search head just back and
forth from this point. Repeat this several times.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 at a right angle to the original search direction to form an „X". The
target object is located directly under this „X" where the detector beeps.
Factors that affect location
It is difficult to obtain an accurate search result. Sometimes the result is affected by the
following factors:
● The angle of the target object buried in the ground.
● The depth of the target object.
● The degree of oxidation of the target.
● The size of the target.
● Electromagnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target object.
If you practice several times patiently and properly, you will soon receive satisfactory re-
sults.
