RECOVERING THE OBJECT
For this procedure youll need: a knife or trowel, a small spade
and a sheet of plastic.
STEP 1 Once the object has been pinpointed, clear the surface of
loose material and check again for the signal. If there is no
signal then the object is amongst the surface material. In
this case, search the surface material until the object is
located.
STEP 2 If the object is still in the ground, check again using
Pinpoint. If you are about to dig in a grassy area, first
remove a plug of grass using a sharp knife or trowel.
STEP 3 Dig carefully to avoid defacing or devaluing the object. The
use of probes can often aid in locating the exact position of
the object prior to digging.
STEP 4 Place the grass plug and all soil you dig onto a plastic sheet
beside the hole. This sheet (which can be folded small
enough to fit into your pocket) enables you to keep all soil
for refilling the hole and prevents material being scattered
about the area.
STEP 5 Check the hole for the object. If it is not in the hole, place
the detector on the ground and with the coil flat, pick up dirt
by the handful and pass over the coil. Be sure you are not
wearing any metal objects like rings, bracelets or a watch
which may interfere with the signal. If you receive no
response, return the dirt to the hole. Repeat this procedure
until the object is located.
STEP 6 Check the hole again with the detector. Ensure that no other
objects remain, then refill the hole. All soil on the plastic
sheet should be returned to the hole followed by the plug of
grass. This should leave the area as you found it.
Fill your holes!
For the safety of others and in the
interests of respecting the
environment, ensure you leave an
area of ground as you found it.
Leaving holes, or an area scarred
may result in action being taken to
prevent the use of metal detectors
(which spoils the hobby for others
as well as yourself!)
