IN THE FIELD TECHNIQUES

- Motion modes

After selecting your operating mode,

swing the search coil gently side-to-

side, slightly overlapping each sweep

as you move forward. Make sure you

keep your search coil approximately

1/2 inch above the ground as you

search. Raising it in the sweep, or at

the ends of your sweep, will cause

false readings. Move slowly; hurrying

will cause you to miss targets.

Most good objects will respond

with a good repeatable signal.

If a signal does

not repeat

after swinging

the coil direct-

ly

over the

suspected

target a

few

times,

it is

more than likely trash metal.

False signals can be caused by

trashy ground, electrical inter-

ference, or by large irregular trash

objects. These signals are easily

recognized by their often broken or

non-repeatable nature.

The Sharp Shooter II is a very sen-

sitive and deep-seeking detector. It

will respond loudly to many targets

that other detectors would only

detect with a weak signal. Because

of this, trash-induced signals and

other sources of interference may

cause signals that seem confusing.

The key to managing these false

signals is to dig only those targets

that emit a strong repeatable signal.

As you sweep the search coil

back and forth over the ground,

learn to recognize the difference

between the signals that occur at

random and signals that are

stable and repeatable.

When searching very trashy

ground, it is best to scan small

areas with slow, short overlapping

sweeps. To prevent erratic signals

and difficult pinpointing in trashy

areas, consider purchasing

the Bounty Hunter

4-Inch Gold Nugget Coil.
