1. Consistent Location
By consistency of location, I am referring to where a target is located in
relationship to some sort of marking on the ground: a reference point. It
can be a leaf, a blade of grass, a small pebble or a clod of dirt. Whatever
catches your eye. When I rst pass over a target, I sweep back and forth
over it from a variety of directions. Not just left to right and right to left.
I will literally walk around the target, X-ing over it as I rotate around
it. All the time, I am listening for that audio tone and watching if it is
consistently coming from beneath that same leaf, blade of grass or clod
of dirt. Coins and other valuables will not vary in their location. Deeply
buried iron will generally give its loudest target response from more
than one location, as you sweep it from dierent directions. If the target
produces the same tone when I pass over it from varying directions, it is
worth a bit more investigation.
