Once the approximate target location is known, move the coil outside of that area and press PINPOINT.

Sweep the coil over the target location. The menu scale segments on the LCD indicate how close the target is to the center of the coil. The detector will only produce a high volume when the center-ring of the coil is directly above the target.

Taking note of the detector’s response, reduce the span of each successive pass of the coil until you are conﬁdent of the target’s location. Make a mental note of the position or, if the ground is sandy, mark a line with your shoe or a digging tool.

Move to one side so that you can pass the coil over the target at a right angle to your initial direction. When the detector sounds you should know exactly where to dig.

If you have diﬃculty pinpointing the target, press PINPOINT DETECT again to take the detector out of pinpoint and then return to Step 1.
