Using PINPOINT, when the search
coil approaches the ground, the
unit will sound a tone.
FALSE SIGNALS AND REASONS
Sometimes, the device may produce signals which are similar to a
target signal although no metal target is present. There are various
reasons for the false signals received by the device. The most common
ones are ground mineralization or rocks with high mineral content,
surrounding electromagnetic signals, operation of another nearby
detector, rusted or corroded iron or foil in the soil, or sensitivity value
set too high. Please try to adjust the sensitivity accordingly.
LARGE OR NEAR-SURFACE TARGETS
Targets that are near the surface may give multiple different signals to
the device. If you suspect a target near the surface, lift the search coil
and swing it more slowly until a single signal is received.
4. Perhaps the target is severely
oxidised or the ground seriously
magnetized, you should try to
decrease the sensitivity.
