PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by
1.Once a buried target is indicated by a good tone response, continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing
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 straight back 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.
7.Use
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.
WRONG ![](/images/new-backgrounds/1166860/16686027xi21.webp)
CORRECT
The coil should be swung in a half- circle movement as illustrated here. Repeat this motion every step you take to guarantee that the area is being covered thoroughly.
