you may want to dig all targets at
first. With practice in the field, you
will learn to better discern the nature
of buried objects by the nature of the
detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False signals
occur when the detector beeps, but
no metal target is present. False
signals can be induced by
e l e c t romagnetic
interf e re n c e ,
oxidation, or highly mineralized
ground soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the signal
with several additional sweeps over
the same spot, there is probably no
target present.
When searching very trashing
ground, it is best to scan small areas
with slow, short sweeps. You will be
surprised just how much trash metal
and foil you will find in some areas.
The trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people, and
frequently hold the most promise for
finding the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the surface of
the ground, without making contact
with the ground. Making contact with
the ground can cause false signals.
