Proper use and understanding of a metal detector is important when looking for metal objects such as bullets, a knife or even a cigarette lighter. It takes a steady hand and listening to the many types of sounds that a detector makes. The NRVCSST has just the expert on our team who trains us on all the different sounds, the way to use the detector and proper handling.
LINE SEARCH TRAINING
Line search is very important when you are in the woods or a field. It is important to know how to keep in line, pace your walk, and look down, around and when you spot something you never touch only signal the expert to decide. By touching or moving the item(s) you have contaminated the evidence.
