ground. Tune the detector for' its threshold,
or
just slightly into
the
"quiet
zone".
Now,
carefully
"scrub"
the loop
over
the surface of the ground taking
care
not to
lift
or
tilt
the loop
or
this will
cause
the
detector to sound-off with
false signals.
5.
RE-TUNE
your detector often! It's
easy
to
do
with the
Push-Button tuning and it
is
important to maintain the
detec.l.or's
sensitivity
and depth
capability.
Whenever you change hunting area,
be
sure
to
re-tune the
detector to the
new
area
-
ground
conditions
may change.
6.
LEARN
the particular sounds of the various items
you
might encounter while
Treasure Hunting. It
will
save
you time, and increase your expertise,
in
the field.
7.
WHEN
IN
DOUBT, DIG! If
you're not certain whether
or
not
a
target
is
"good"
or
"junk",
don't
pass
It up.
8.
PINPOINTING: Once
a
target
has been
located
In
general,
move
the loop
across
it,
noticing at which point the tone
is loudest. Make the next sweep at
90
degrees
to this point.
Detune the
detector
as
you
move
the loop closer and closer to the
target
by
pressing and releasing the Push-Button several times, until there is
on-
iy
a
very
slight signal
heard
as
you
"X"
the target.
The
object will
be
directly
below the center of the loop. The meter
on
the
2lDB
can
also
be used in
this
pro-
cedure. The peak
signal will help to guide you to the target's exact position.
9.
THE METER
on
the
2IDB
will indicate signal strength
in
conjunction with the
in-
creasing audio tone to help
in
locating targets.
HEADPHONES
can be
very
helpful, especially when hunting
in
noisy
areas.
Dif-
ferences
in
the audio tone
can
be
more
easily determined
by
listening
on
head-
phones, and they help prolong
battery life
by reducing power drain.
ALWAYS CRISS-CROSS
an area
when searching it to make
sure
you've
com-
pletely covered it.
AFTER RECOVERING
a
coin, always check the hole again for more!
DON'T FORGET TO FILL
IN
THE HOLE! Public and private
officials,
and property
owners, will
be
more
likely to allow continued Treasure Hunting
in
the
area
if
you
do
NO
environmental damage.
WHEN BEACHCOMBING, the best place to look
for coins
is
near
concession
stands.
CHECK SHALLOW WATER
in
swimming
areas.
Most rings and coins
are
lost
when people enter
the water.
CHECK HISTORY RECORDS
for
good Treasure Hunting
areas.
ALWAYS CARRY A PLASTIC BAG
for your detector
in
case
you get
caught
in
rain.
NEVER ASK PERMISSION TO HUNT OVER THE PHONE. People may
envision
you using
a
pick
and shovel and making large holes!
JOIN A LOCAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY and get acquainted
with its
members and
research
facility.
This information may lead to valuable Treasure sites.
WHEN COINHUNTING, search parks,
school yards
and
areas
where
fairs
or car-
nivals
were
recently
held.
ALWAYS CARRY EXTRA BATTERIES in
case
the
one
in
the instrument gets too
low
for
maximum power.
22.
IF YOU'RE
PLANNING A TREASURE HUNTING TRIP AWAY FROM HOME,
it's
a
good idea to have
a
backup unit
in
case
something happens to your primary unit.
A
WHiTE'S
COIN TR
could
serve as an
excellent backup
.
.
.
it's inexpensive
and
effective!
