NOTE: Always refill the hole you have dug, and leave the area as you
found it.
7.6.1 Digging Deep Targets
The SD2100v2 has unparalleled depth capabilities which will surprise
experienced and new prospectors alike. If the target appears to be buried
deeply, it will help to use the following technique:
· Use the cross-sweeping method to locate the target as accurately
as you can. Scrape a hole about 100mm deep and large enough to
take the coil. Keep testing the target location as you dig deeper and
deeper. Be careful that the target is not in the wall of the hole and
you dig past it.
· If using a Monoloop coil, turn the detector coil onto its edge, making
it vertical, and probe various sections of the hole, listening for the
loudest reading.
7.7 Salty Environments
The SD2100v2 will find objects at great depth in salty environments, but
interfering signals caused by the saturated salt or highly concentrated salt
can not be completely ‘balanced out’. The 11” Double ‘D’ coil will give the
best results in salty conditions.
