Tip #2

When you locate a target with your metal detector, try to “pinpoint” it before digging. To pinpoint a target, sweep your search coil over the target in one direction, then sweep perpendicular to the first line to form an imaginary “X” directly over the target. This will help you to dig more accurately.

Tip #1

When you are out on the “treasure field” sweeping your metal detector back and forth, remember this tip: Keep your detector’s search coil parallel to the ground for the full length of your swing. If you swing it suddenly further from the ground at the end of your swing, it could create a false signal.
