IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES
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 detector
beeps, but no metal target is
present. False signals can be
induced by electromagnetic
interference, oxidation,
highly mineralized ground
soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the
signal with several additional
sweeps over the same spot,
there is probably no target
present.
When searching very trashy
ground, it is best to scan small
areas with slow, short sweeps.
(continued)
You will be surprised just how
much trash metal and foil you
will find in some areas. The
trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people,
and frequently hold the most
promise for finding the most
lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the
surface of the ground, without
making contact with
ground. Making contact with
the ground can cause false
signals.
