It is essential to carry at least a small, strong digging

spade, shovel or sand scoop with you when searching.

Recovering the Target

1 Clear the area of loose surface material and

check that the target signal is still there. If it is not,

the target should be amongst the moved

surface material.

2 Take note if there are other signals close to your

target. This is important so that when you come to

dig your hole, you do not heap the loose sand/soil on

top of another target already in the ground.

3 If the target signal is still present, use your spade to

dig to a depth of approximately 50 mm (2").

4 Sweep the coil over the hole to determine if it has

been dug. If the target signal is not heard, then

the target should be in the material just removed.

Otherwise dig a little deeper and check again.

5 Start digging approximately 100 mm (4") in front

of the target to reduce the chance of damaging it.

Damaging a target may reduce its value.

6 If the target signal disappears from the hole, sweep

the coil over the loose sand/soil and pinpoint its

exact position.

Your hands and wrists

must be free of any metallic

jewellery and watches

when passing sand/soil

over the coil.

When digging, avoid sharp

edges to the hole as they

can produce false signals,

potentially masking the

target. Slope the edges

of the hole to avoid any

problems.

Backfill Every Hole You Dig

Always refill any holes on the land and beach before leaving the

area. Help restore it to its original condition. Any rubbish you

recover should be taken away with you and disposed of properly.

Refilling holes and removing rubbish will help detector users

maintain a good reputation. This should lead to more areas

being readily accessible for detecting.

7 Put the detector down. Take a handful of the sand/

soil and pass it over the coil.

8 If there is no signal, place the handful carefully in a

new pile, pinpoint the position of the target again,

and repeat with another handful of sand/soil.

9 Once the target is in your hand, transfer half of the

sand/soil to the other hand. Test each handful

across the coil.

10 If the target is too small to see, drop the sand/soil

onto the top of the coil and with your finger move

any suspect objects. A target signal will only be

given when the target is moved.
