PINPOINTING
Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by
“X-ing” the suspected target area.
●
1 Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response,
continue sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing
side to side pattern.
●
2 Take visual note of the place on the ground where the
“beep” occurs as you move the coil slowly from side to
side.
●
3 Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.
●
4 Now move the coil straight forward and straight back
towards you a couple of times.
●
5 Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which
the “beep” occurs.
●
6 If needed, “X” the target at different angles to “zero in” on
the exact spot on the ground at which the “beep” occurs.
REMEMBER: The detector will beep just as the center of the
search coil passes directly over the buried object.
If you have difficulty pinpointing very strong signals, try lifting
the coil higher off the ground until a weaker, but more concise,
signal is heard. For very weak signals, try moving the coil in
short quick sweeps, closer to the ground.
