Detecting Techniques

For best results with the Eureka Gold, it is recommended that you learn
some basic detecting techniques such as sweeping, pinpointing and
digging targets.
9.1

Sweeping

One of the most important detecting techniques, and perhaps one of the
hardest to perfect, is the sweeping of the coil across the surface of the
ground.
The Eureka Gold is a motion detector which means that in order to detect
a target the coil must be moving. It is recommended that you use a
sweeping motion for the coil while detecting (see figure 18). It is
essential that the coil sweeps are overlapped in order to ensure that all
ground is searched.
Note: Each sweep of the coil should overlap the last one. This will ensure
good ground coverage.
