Pinpointing
Accurate pinpointing takes practice and is best accomplished by “X-ing” the sus-
pected target area.
1. Once a buried target is identified by a good tone response, continue
sweeping the coil over the target in a narrowing side to side pattern.
2. Take visual note of the place on the ground where the “beep” occurs
as you move the coil slowly from side to side.
3. Stop the coil directly over this spot on the ground.
4. Now move the coil straight forward and straight back towards you a
couple of times.
5. Again make visual note of the spot on the ground at which the “beep”
occurs.
6. If needed, “X” the target at different angles to “zero in” on the exact
spot on the ground at which the “beep” occurs.
REMEMBER: The detector will beep just as the search coil passes over the
buried object.
If you have difficulty pinpointing very strong signals, try lifting the coil higher
off the ground until a weaker, but more concise, signal is heard. For very
weak signals, try moving the coil in short quick sweeps, closer to the ground.
When pinpointing a target, try drawing an “X”, as illustrated, over where
the tone is induced.
