| 0. Before doing the rest of this
exercise, turn on the Receiver only, place it in
the magnetic modem and search the area in &
around your proposed hole. If you find a "target",
you know you are going to hit something if you dig
that hole. You may want to decide now not to dig
that hole and save the time involved in the following
steps … or you may wish to do them anyway.
1. Have an assistant hold the Mac Receiver in
the vertical position with the tip resting on
the ground in the exact location of your proposed
hole.
2. Turn the Receiver and put it in the HF Mode,
and keep it stationery.
3. Turn on the transmitter (this will be inductive
through the soil, etc.) and take it 20-30 feet
from the Receiver.
4. While your assistant continues to hold the
Receiver as in #1 above, walk a circle around
the Receiver always staying 20-30 feet (or more)
away.
5. During #4 above, always "point"
the transmitter at the Receiver & keep it
in the upright position with the "arrow"
up.
6. Mark the ground under the Transmitter whenever
the Receiver reports a "hit".
Note: This will excite any continuous metal running
through the circle you make with the Transmitter
which also runs very close to the Receiver.
7. When the circle is complete, go back and place
the Transmitter on the 'hit' and trace the target
line through you proposed area of the hole. |
