Tips for Searching in Different Environments
There are many factors which influence the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting objects, including the angle, depth, size and oxidation
of the target object. Various soil or seawater conditions, and also electromagnetic and electrical interference surrounding the target can also affect readings. Other metal detectors in the area will also cause interference, so when there is more than one unit in use, be sure they are at least 10 yards apart. Some ways to help increase success are:
