HEADPHONES Jack
The HEADPHONES Jack is located to the right of the RETUNE Button.
A plastic plug can be inserted into this jack to keep dirt and water
out when not in use.
It’s a good idea to establish a systematic search pattern for
your selected area. A systematic approach to searching will avoid
aimless wandering, which could cause you to miss the search
object and lengthen the amount of time required to do the job.
As you walk along, your sweep pattern should be in a slow, half-
circle motion from side-to-side and with the coil as close to the
ground as possible. When the M-96 search coil passes over a
conductive (metallic) object, it will be indicated by an increase in
both sound and meter reading. Because of the sensitivity of the M-
96 search coil, a large and/or close-to-the surface object may be
detected before the search coil is directly above it. Passing the
search coil over the object from several different directions and
marking the edges of the object will indicate its central position.
Your search should be slow
and methodical, sweeping
in a semicircle and
overlapping for maximum
ground penetration
