Garrett Coil Cover 8 5 1602200

When swinging a metal detector, proper technique is essential. if you hold the coil too high above the ground depth is lost. If you swing the coil to quickly, you may miss a worthful target. And if you walk too quickly, you may pass over a target.

I like to think of the coil as a paint roller. Pretend that your coil is loaded with paint,

and that you're attempting to paint the ground that you're walking across. As you tardily

sweep the coil back-and-forth all over the ground imagine paint being applied.

You're attempting to paint the entire area you were attempting to cover. If you may imagine

the paint, you ought to be capable to cover the entire area without missing a single spot.

As far as the height above the ground goes, you want to hold the coil as close to the

ground as possible. Obviously, if you're working in tall grass you're perchance 3 or 4

in. above the ground. On the other hand, on a smooth flat beach surface, you may

easily skim the coil right over the sand. Remember, the higher the coil is above the

surface the more depth you will lose. If they've got a old coin that is 6 in. beneath the

surface, and your detector may detect 8 in., and the coil is 3 in. above the ground,

you will miss that target. If the coil had been directly upon the ground you would be

able to observe that target.

For walking speed, do not forget the paint rollerr analogy above. As long as you are

painting the entire surface of the ground and not missing any spots, you are not

walking too quickly. However, if you find that your imaginative paint is missing areas,

you need to slow down your pace.

I have employed this technique with great success to find a large total of gold coins, worthful jewelry,

and other rare finds. The hope you find this technique improves your success rate.
