Using Pinpoint
Figure 5.21
Once the Explorer II has found the approximate position of a target it
is necessary to locate its exact position using Pinpoint.
STEP 1 Move the search coil to one side of the approximate target
location and press the PINPOINT shortcut button. If this
step is not taken the Explorer II will sound when moved
away from the object.
STEP 2 Slowly sweep the search coil over the target a couple of
times. You will only hear a sound when the center-bar of the
coil is directly in line with the target.
STEP 3 Taking note of the detector response, reduce the span of
each successive pass of the coil until you are confident of
the targets location. Make a mental note of the position.
STEP 4 Move to one side so that you can pass the coil over the
target at a right angle to your initial direction.
STEP 5 When the detector sounds you should know exactly where
to dig.
STEP 6 If you have difficulty pinpointing the target, press the
Pinpoint shortcut button again to take the detector out of
Pinpoint and sweep the coil over the area again before
returning to STEP 1.
NOTE The Pinpoint indicator will
flash to remind you to turn
Pinpoint off to resume normal
detecting.
Pinpointing works best when the
search coil is swept slowly.
