PINPOINTING TECHNIQUES
Accurate pinpointing of a target enables you to recover it quickly while also
digging the smallest hole possible� Several pinpointing techniques will be
offered below; use what works best for you�
To utilize the Pinpoint button:
• Place the searchcoil on or near the ground, to the side of the target's
suspected location�
• Press and hold the PINPOINT button (see illustration on p. 23) and
wait for the single beep�
• Continue holding the PINPOINT button and sweep the searchcoil over
the target area while maintaining the same xed height above the
ground�
• Sweep the coil side-to-side and front-to-back in a crosshair pattern to
locate the peak signal, as indicated by the strongest audio and
maximum number of LEDs�
• The center of the target should be directly beneath the center of the
searchcoil�
To locate a target without the PINPOINT button, sweep the coil side-
to-side and front-to-back in a cross-hair pattern over the target area while
listening for the peak signal� In Motion Mode, it is important to keep the
searchcoil in motion (i�e� wiggling back and forth) to pinpoint the peak signal
area�
In Non-Motion Mode, static pinpointing is possible without the use of
the PINPOINT button� Simply utilize the same front-to-back and side-to-side
scans over the target area until your coil is over the peak signal, as indicated
by the strongest audio and maximum number of LEDs�
Note: For best pinpointing results, maintain a constant coil height above
the ground and ensure the detector is properly ground balanced� It
is recommended to practice pinpointing in a test plot�
Three red LEDs to the far
right indicates maximum
target signal strength.
Press and hold the
PINPOINT button to
locate the peak signal.
Sweep the searchcoil side-to-side and front-to-back to locate the peak signal
at the center of the coil.
