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.
When pinpointing a target, continue sweeping
as you walk around the target.
COIL MOVEMENT
When swinging the coil, be
careful to keep it level with the
ground about 1/2 inch from the
surface. Never swing the coil like
a pendulum.

TARGET DEPTH ESTIMATION
After verifying
target, pass the coil again, but
raise the coil 1" over the
ground, progressively higher
with each sweep. Note the coil
elevation at which the signal
disappears. With practice, you
will be able to approximate
target depth.
