To achieve maximum results it is important then, to decide on your approach to any particular site in advance of the actual search.

  • Page 15: Sweeping Technique

    It is also important to keep the detector head as close to the ground as possible. Ideally, you should 'iron' the ground with the search head of the detector, so that you do not lose any detection range. Similarly, if you work slowly and carefully you should be able to distinguish the faint signals as well as the clear-cut signals and further increase your finds.

  • Page 16: Code Of Conduct

    CODE OF CONDUCT 1. Do not trespass. Ask permission before venturing on to any private land. 2. Respect the Country Code. Do not leave gates open when crossing fields, and do not damage crops or frighten animals. 3. Do not leave a mess.
