TIP: If “X-ing” the target does not yield one point, try finding
the perimeter of the object by “circling” the object. Many
large objects will seem irregular in size and shape.
▲ Retrieving Targets - Some Tips
Targets which have been buried a while usually develop an oxide
and clay coating so they look almost like dirt. You can be looking
right at it and not know it.
If you're in a situation where you can dig a hole without damaging
turfgrass etc., there are two popular ways of quickly recovering the target.
1. Dig out enough dirt that you probably have the target, and
spread it out over the ground surface. Then locate the target in
the spread-out dirt.
2. Dig the dirt out handful by handful, passing each handful over
the searchcoil to see if it beeps. When it does, the target is right
there in your hand. (Note: Program #4 is the best mode for
this. If you haven't ground balanced it, it may "see the dirt", but
the handful with the metal in it will be louder.)
Once you've recovered the target, ALWAYS CHECK THE HOLE
AGAIN! There is often more than one object to be retrieved.
After you've made sure that you've recovered all targets from the hole,
ALWAYS REFILL THE HOLE. Empty holes look ugly and present a hazard.
