Pinpointing the Target - Tip of the week

Once you have detected a target, you can avoid digging a large hole by pin

pointing the exact location of the target.

Use the following method for pinpointing using a Double D search coil. Due to the nature of the Double D search coil, the

strongest detection is achieved along a straight line from heel to toe through the center of the coil.

When the target is detected along the sweep line, draw a line at right angels to it, through the center of the coil.

Turn 90 and move along the line just drawn until you detect the target again.

Again, draw a line through the center of the search coil. Where the two lines meet is where the targe lies.
