objects. If you are new to the hobby,
you may want to dig all targets at
first. With practice in the field, you
will learn to better discern the nature
of buried objects by the nature of the
detector’s response.
You may encounter some false
signals as you proceed. False
signals occur when the detector
beeps, but no metal target is present.
False signals can be induced by
electromagnetic
interference,
oxidation, or highly mineralized
ground soils. If the detector beeps
once, but does not repeat the signal
with several additional sweeps over
the same spot, there is probably no
target present.
When searching very trashy ground,
it is best to scan small areas with
slow, short sweeps. You will be
surprised just how much trash
metal and foil you will find in some
areas. The trashiest areas have been
frequented by the most people, and
frequently hold the most promise for
finding the most lost valuables.
Also maintain the search coil
positioned just above the surface of
the ground, without making contact
with the ground. Making contact
with the ground can cause false
signals.
