Swing the search coil slowly,
overlapping each sweep as you move
forward. It is important to sweep the
coil at a consistent speed over the
g round as you search. After
identifying a target, your sweep
technique can help in identifying both
the location and the nature of the
target. If you encounter a weak
signal, try moving the coil in short,
rapid sweeps over the target zone;
such a short rapid sweep may
p rovide a more consistent targ e t
identification.
Most worthwhile objects will respond
with a repeatable tone. If the signal
does not repeat after sweeping the
coil directly over the suspected target
a few times, it is more than likely
trash metal.
C rossing the target zone with
multiple intersecting sweeps at
multiple angles is another way to
verify the repeatability of the signal,
and the potential of the buried target.
To use this method, walk around the
target area in a circle, sweeping the
coil across the target re p e a t e d l y,
every 30 to 40 degrees of the circle,
about ten different angles as you
walk completely around the target. If
a high-tone target completely
disappears from detection at a given
angle, chances are that you are
detecting oxidized ferrous metals,
rather than a silver or copper object.
If the tone changes a different angles,
you many have encountered multiple
objects. If you are new to the hobby,
