You can reverse this pinpointing technique to pinpoint off
the DD coil's tail; in this case, push the coil away from you.
The audio and LCD meter will place the target just off the
searchcoil's tail.
Tip: Practice any or all of these various pinpointing options in
your test plot. Choose the technique that works best for you.
As you improve your pinpointing accuracy, you will dig smaller
holes and increase your productive hunting time.

2. Replace all old batteries with all new batteries.
1. Ensure your searchcoil is securely connected and the coil
cable is snugly wound around the stem.
2. If using the detector indoors, be aware that excessive

4. Determine if you are close to other metal detectors or other
metal structures such as electrical power lines, wire fences,
benches, etc.
Intermittent signals typically mean you've found a deeply
buried target or one that is positioned at a difficult angle for
your detector to read. Scan from different directions to help
define the signal. In the case of multiple targets switch to the
Intermittent Signals
ZERO Mode or press the pinpoint button to precisely locate
all targets. In trashy areas, use the Super Sniper™ searchcoil.
(NOTE: Iron targets may cause Intermittent Signals. You can
identify iron targets in ZERO Mode).
Ensure you are using the correct mode for the type hunting
you are doing. If specifically hunting for coins, COINS mode

targets. You may also use the ZERO mode, which detects all
metal targets to ensure desired targets are present.
If your Target ID Cursor bounces erratically, chances are
you've found a trash target. However, a Target ID Cursor may
bounce if a good target (such as a coin) is not parallel to the
searchcoil (e.g. on edge). It may also bounce if there is one

from different directions until your Target ID Cursor becomes
more stable.
NOTE: Large, flat pieces of iron—depending on their
orientation in the ground—can read as a good target or can
cause erratic Target ID Cursor movement.
