PINPOINTING

Pinpointing targets after detection

"X-ing" the target

1. Sweep over target in

narrowing side-to-

side patterns.

2. Take note of the spot

on the ground where

"beep" occurs.

3. Step 90° to the side

of the target.

4. Sweep searchcoil

over same area, at

90° to the 1st sweep

pattern.

5. This pinpoints the

target location with

an "X".

When pinpointing a target, try drawing an "X", as illus-

trated, over where the tone is induced.

CIRCLING THE TARGET

Crossing the target zone with multiple intersecting sweeps at multiple angles is

another way to verify the repeatability of the signal, and the potential of the buried

target. To use this method, walk around the target area in a circle, sweeping the

coil across the target repeatedly, every 30 to 40 degrees of the circle, about ten

different angles as you walk completely around the target. If a high-tone target

completely disappears from detection at a given angle, chances are that you are

detecting oxidized ferrous metals, rather than a silver or copper object. If the

tone changes at different 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.
