Tip #29: The frequency generator in ground mode will not travel through dry sand. Dig down until you reach moist ground. You might try to compact it before inserting ground probes.You can aim the ground probes up for the "air mode". This is the recommended mode until you get near the target then switch to ground mode. The signal travels farther through the air and is not blocked by canyons, ravines, tunnels, etc. like ground mode is. AIr mode works for targets on the side of a cliff, inside houses,,etc. Do not let the ground probes touch anything metal or conductive while in air mode.
