Search Methods - Famous Trails MD9300 Owner's Manual

Find the edge where in one direction the detector beeps as the loop
is lowered and lifted from the ground and in the other direction the
detector doesn't beep. The correct setting is the point or edge where
the detector just stops beeping as the loop is lowered and lift from
the ground.
Recover the access hole with a plug cover to prevent moisture and
dirt from entering the control box.

Search Methods

1. Loop Sweep
Because the loop must be moving in order to accurately respond, the
sweep of the loop is critical to performance. Sweep the loop close to
the ground. Keep it close throughout the sweep.
Productive areas should be searched from at least two different
directions, at 90 degree angles from each-other.
2. Pinpointing
Once a consistent good sound is located, squeeze and hold the
detecting mode toggle (located on the handle) or press it forward to
lock and "X" the area slowly to pinpoint the exact center. The detector
will beep as the physical center of the loop passes the center of the
target. Listen for the loudest beep as you sweep the loop over the area,
then stop and sweep in the other direction listening for the loudest
