Fisher 1225-X manual Target Recovery, Search Mode

TARGET RECOVERY

Once you have pinpointed a target, your objective is to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving no trace of your excavation. There are almost as many ways to do this as there are Treasure Hunters. Whatever works for you is good enough as long as you don’t break any laws, damage vegetation, or leave your search area looking like a World War II battlefield.

Generally speaking, beachcombers do little if any damage to the environment while recovering targets. However, if you plan to use your 1225-X on lawns or in parks, your target recovery method can be very important. Two of the most successful methods are illustrated in a separate booklet enclosed with your 1225-X.

detected unless you closely overlap your swings.

Note:

Depth is also determined by the size, shape and material of the target as well as the degree of ground mineralization and sensitivity setting.
