PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice
and is best accomplished by "X-ing"
the target area.
1. Once a buried target is indicated
by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over
the target in a narrowing side-to-
side pattern.
2. Take visual note of the place on
the ground where the "beep"
sounds.
3. Stop the coil directly over this
spot on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight
forward and
towards you a couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the
spot on the ground at which the
"beep" sounds.
6. If needed, "X" the target at
different angles to "zero in" on the
exact spot on the ground at which
the "beep" sounds.
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an "X",
as illustrated, over where the tone is induced.

COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be careful
to keep it level with the ground
about one inch from the surface.
Never swing the coil like a
pendulum.
