11. Advice on operation

a) General information
To successfully go "treasure hunting", you need to know how your metal detector reacts to different met-
als, their position and distance when detecting. Therefore, perform various tests with different metals and
different recording angles at home.
Do not set up your test on a house floor because these usually contain steel or iron. We recommend a wood
table on which you can put different objects.
Detect the individual objects, such as watches, rings, jewellery, old iron, etc. Remember the associated
visual and acoustic signals. Practice until you can interpret the visual and acoustic signals clearly and
without mistakes.
b) Correct movements
The correct movements must be practised as well. For the best search results, proceed as follows:
• Search your target area on a previously specified route in semi-circles
• Swivel the search probe approx. 3-5 cm above the ground at an even height
if possible. Never move the search probe like a pendulum. Lifting the
search probe in a swing or at the end will falsify the measuring results.
• Perform your movements slowly to detect all possible objects.
• You will be able to localise an object precisely with some practise. If the
detector finds a concealed object, move the search probe in increasingly
smaller "X"-shaped motions (see figure). Remember the precise point on
the ground where the detector beeped. Hold the search probe precisely
over this point. Move the search probe forward and backward a few times
and again remember where the detector produces a signal. Encircle the
find systematically with increasingly smaller movements.
