Suggested method of scanning logs

This procedure will insure that the entire surface of the log is scanned by the metal detector.

NOTE: The surface (ground, deck, concrete floor) must be free of metal in order not to interfere with electromagnetic field of the search head.

1. Place search head close to the log surface and scan the entire length of the log as shown in diagram to left.

2. Move to other side of the log and repeat step 1.

3. Roll log over as required to expose unscanned surfaces. Scan the rest of the circumference of the log covering the complete surface of the log. Overlap longitudinal sweeps to prevent dead spots.
