How do I use Itemfinder in Pokemon Gold?

Question

I know how to basically use the itemfinder already, "hit the use button". However, I can not figure out how to "pick - up" the item that I "find". Please answer this question. Thankyou.

Answer 1

Just press A facing the item you want to pick up. Its that easy.

But it doesn't show me the item that I want to find? how?

click on the itemfinder and it will tell you where the invisible item is. Then click A in front of it.

Answer 2

If you "use" the itemfinder while a hidden item is on the screen that you can see, it will make a noise. So, you have to check the squares that are visible when the itemfinder sounded its alarm. If there is not a hidden item on the visible screen then nothing will happen.
