False Signals; Pinpointing A Target - Westfalia 80 14 40 Bedienungsanleitung

False Signals

The metal detector is very sensitive. Trash-induced signals and
other sources of interference might cause confusing signals. The
key to handling these types of signals is to dig for only those targets
that generate a strong and repeatable signal.
Sweep the search coil forth and back and learn to recognise the
difference between signals that occur at random and signals that
are stable and repeatable.
Scan a smaller area and move the search coil slowly in overlapping
movements to reduce the amount of false signals on clean ground.
The detector's reaction depends on a number of things such as:

The angle at which the object rests in the ground

The depth of the object in the ground

The amount of iron in the object

The size of the object

Pinpointing a Target

Accurately pinpointing
digging it up easier. However it requires
practice to improve the skill. Practise finding
and digging up small metal objects on your
own property before you search other
locations.
Sometimes targets are difficult to locate due
to the sweep pattern that is used. Try
changing the sweep direction / the sweep
pattern to pinpoint a target.
Please follow these steps to pinpoint a
target:
1. When the metal detector detects a buried
target, continue sweeping the search coil
over the target in a narrowing side-to-
