PINPOINTING

Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the target area.

1.Once a buried target is indicated by a good tone response, continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side-to-side pattern.

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.

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 1/2 inch from the surface. Never swing the coil like a pendulum.
