PROSPECTING TIPS
Mapping
When an area of high conductivity is encountered, outline and stake it by crossing and recrossing, using the Narrow Scan Inductive Search mode. It will be noted that in and near the conductive zone, a maximum indication will be received in only one definite direction when the operator stands at one point and rotates the instrument parallel to the surface of the ground. Record the meter readings as read in the maximum directions, at various points along the zones. Note the character of the overburden, outcrops and topographic features.
When the area being inductively surveyed has been completely covered and all of the conductive zones have been staked, these zones are surveyed and plotted on a map. The map should include all creek bottoms, gullies, outcrops and other physical features. The ideal map on which to plot the conductive zones is a topographic and geological map of the proper scale. In this way it is possible to correlate the zones directly with the topography and geology, and thus determine the possible reasons for the presence of the various conductive zones.
