PINPOINT
Press-and-hold
Searchcoil motion is not required; a motionless searchcoil over a metal target
will induce sound.
Audio is V.C.O. The 2-digit number displayed indicates target depth, in inches.
The scale in calibrated to coin-size objects.
After you have identified a target using a motion mode of detection, press-and-
hold
to identify the target's exact location. This technique can yield more
information about the target's shape and size and also find its exact location to
facilitate extraction.
Pinpoint as follows:
1. Press and hold
2. Position the searchcoil just barely off the ground, and to the side of the
target.
3. Now move the searchcoil slowly across the target, and you can locate it
by the sound.
The target is located directly under where the sound is loudest.
Narrow It Down:
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil near
the center of the response pattern, but not directly over the center.
2. Release
3. Immediately press-and-hold
4. Repeat this narrowing procedure to narrow the field of detection further.
Note: Depth indication is less accurate after narrowing.
COIL DRIFT
If you plan to use PINPOINT for continuous searching, realize that drift will
occur over time, causing the detector to gain or lose sensitivity. Periodic
retuning of the detector is required to minimize drift; release and press
periodically to retune.
Pinpointing using motion modes (without
1. Sweep over target in narrowing side-to-side patterns.
2. Take note of the spot on the ground where "beep" occurs.
3. Step 90° to the side of the target.
4. Sweep searchcoil over same area, at 90° to the 1st sweep pattern.
5. This pinpoints the target location with an "X".
