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.

exact location. This technique can yield more information about the target's
shape and size and also find its exact location to facilitate extraction.
1. Press and hold
Pinpoint as follows:
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.
1. To narrow the response further, position the center of the searchcoil near

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.
