PINPOINTING THE OBJECT

Using Pinpoint

Figure 5.21

Once the Explorer II has found the approximate position of a target it is necessary to locate its exact position using Pinpoint.

STEP 1 Move the search coil to one side of the approximate target location and press the PINPOINT shortcut button. If this step is not taken the Explorer II will sound when moved away from the object.

STEP 2 Slowly sweep the search coil over the target a couple of times. You will only hear a sound when the center-bar of the coil is directly in line with the target.

STEP 3 Taking note of the detector 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.

STEP 4 Move to one side so that you can pass the coil over the target at a right angle to your initial direction.

STEP 5 When the detector sounds you should know exactly where to dig.

STEP 6 If you have difficulty pinpointing the target, press the Pinpoint shortcut button again to take the detector out of Pinpoint and sweep the coil over the area again before returning to STEP 1.

NOTE The Pinpoint indicator will flash to remind you to turn Pinpoint off to resume normal detecting.

Pinpointing works best when the search coil is swept slowly.
