SEARCHING
7.Search in a methodical manner sweeping in a tight semicircle. Pay close attention to where you’re going and where you’ve been.
8.TAKE YOUR TIME. If you walk too fast you can’t overlap your sweeps and you’ll miss a lot of ground.
If you sweep too fast, you’ll lose sensitivity and miss the faint tone which will disappear as soon as the coil is raised.
9.The diagram below shows the search coil detection pattern and how it is affected by sweep speed, discrimination level and overlapping sweeps in the Search mode.
Figure 5. “sweeping” the search coil. Keep the search coil parallel and close to the ground at all times
