The technique of getting the best out of your detector is not learnt overnight. You need to get as much experience
as possible so that you can recognise every kind of signal. Indeed, a good detector operator can often tell you what
is being detected before it is unearthed.
Search Head Position
It is essential that the search head is kept close and parallel as in 8. Do not hold the head too high above the
ground, or at an odd angle as in A, C and D as you will be apt to miss finds.
SWEEPING TECHNIQUE
For extremely small object searching, such as coins, rings, nuggets, etc. lower the search coil to within one inch of
the ground. Sweeping the coil from side to side in a straight line in front of you. Keep the coil at a constant height
as you sweep from side to side. Move the coil at the rate of one foot per second.
The optimum sweep rate must be determined by each operator. The detector should be held comfortable in the
hand, with the coil held as closely to the ground as possible. As the detector is scanned from side to side in front of
the operator, the search coil should be advanced approximately two-thirds the diameter of the coil. This keeps the
operator moving ahead, and it allows some overlapping of each sweep. This overlapping ensures that nothing will
be missed. It is well to note here that the operator should not rush. This is one of the most common mistakes made
by detector users. If you rush, you will not adequately cover the ground.
CARE OF YOUR DETECTOR
Storage
When not in use your detector should be stored in a dry warm environment. If it is not to be used for a certain
length of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid leakage which could cause serious damage. The
working life of your detector will be shortened by careless use or neglect of the unit. Think of your detector as a
scientific instrument. Your detector is designed to withstand rugged handling on any terrain, but misuse or lack of
due attention will tell in the end. After using your detector in a hostile environment (salt water, sand, etc.) The
exterior parts should be flushed with clean fresh water, paying attention to the head and stems, then carefully wipe
dry.
