HUNTING WITH YOUR ACE DETECTOR
• If you’re new to treasure hunting start searching in sandy
areas, such as those found near playgrounds or on the beach.
These sandy and loose gravel areas make it easier to learn
how to use your metal detector to pinpoint and dig targets.
• Hunt in your own yard and around playground lawns once
you’re familiar with your new metal detector. These areas
give you an opportunity to test your pinpointing and digging
practices in manicured lawns.
• Keep your searchcoil height approximately 1 to 2 inches
and parallel to the ground at all times for best detection
results.
• Walk slowly as you scan your searchcoil in a straight line
from side to side while moving the coil at a speed of about 2
to 5 feet per second. Advance the searchcoil about one half
the diameter of the searchcoil at the end of each sweep.
