UNDERWATER
The IMPULSE is waterproof to 250 feet, and it operates the same
underwater as on land. However, some differences in search
technique should be noted.
1. Tune your IMPULSE underwater, on the bottom.
You may want to run your threshold tone and
volume slightly higher than you would on land. If
you’re wearing a hood, you’ll probably have to
turn the volume control to maximum.
2. Keep the coil as far away from you (and your
dive gear) as possible. Sweep the search coil back
and forth in a wide semi-circle in front of you to
cover the bottom in a methodical manner.
3. Keep the coil parallel and as close to the bottom
as possible. Overlap your sweeps at least 50 percent.
4. Because your IMPULSE is a no-motion detector,
you can detect buried metallic objects in cracks,
crevices and out-of-the-way places without
having to move the coil back and forth.
5. Remember, observe all the rules of safe diving.
7. Take your time. If
you walk too fast you
can’t overlap your
sweeps, and you’ll
miss a lot of ground.
NOTE: Your threshold tone will
probably go up and down as you
search. This is a perfectly normal
response since the distance
between your coil and the ground
varies as you sweep the coil back
and forth. You may want to readjust your threshold level slightly to
maintain a comfortable “average” threshold volume. You will also
have to readjust it if the ground mineralization changes sufficiently
or if you enter or leave wet sand.
