Ground Balancing and Scan Method
Ground Balancing
Pause and without turning the antenna (clockwise or counter clockwise) set PC at "0" (click
on start) over ground that is known not to have a target, this is referred to as ground
balancing. You can repeat the Ground Balancing during a scan to clear past high and low
readings (but ground balancing starts over).
Mark a starting point on the ground far enough from the suspected target to have sufficient
background readings and proceed in a straight line toward desired point (past target area).
It's recommended laying out a grid marked on the ground for an organized accurate scan
(with a GPS the grid can be laid out on it). To continue a grid scan return to the beginning
point and move to the right of that point (about 2 ft. or less increments) and repeat the scan
once again. Repeat this technique as many times as desired. If possible scan south to north
for best results. Live mode is real time, showing what you are scanning currently and is not in
the memory of the PC. Antenna is always best to be pointed in the same direction, vertical
and as close to the ground as possible.
For depth estimation mark the ground over target (largest Number) then walk away from
target until you get "0" reading. Then measure distance to target, that distance will be
approximate depth.
Repeat several times at different angles of approach to affirm depth
estimation.
