On inland sites, this effect is known as 'negative'.

With this type of ground effect, the normal faint

threshold signal required to commence a search,

disappears as the search head is lowered to the

ground. Maintaining a constant height between

the search head and the ground reduces this

effect.

On beaches, a 'positive' ground effect is

experienced. This is caused by the conductivity

of the ground in salt-water areas. When this

effect occurs, the threshold signal becomes

louder as the search head is lowered to the

ground. Applying some discrimination will reduce

the effect of 'positive' ground.

Effects of Temperature

The VIKING 6 is a highly sensitive instrument

and therefore can be affected by variations in

temperature. Whilst the detector is extremely

stable in constant temperatures, it can take up to

15 minutes to acclimatise. For example, if it has

been in a hot car and is then brought into a

cooler climate for use, THRESHOLD drift may be

experienced until the circuit cools down to the

ambient temperature of its surroundings. Similar

effects may be experienced if the detector is

operated in the shade and then brought out into

bright sunlight. In cases of drift, momentarily

pressing the RETUNE pushbutton will bring the

detector back to THRESHOLD.
