Alternative pinpointing technique: DD-wiggle
. Quickly
locate targets
without using the Pinpoint button
as follows.
Continuously swing the searchcoil side-to-side using fast,
narrow swings of 5–10cm (i.e. wiggle). While continuing
this side-to-side wiggle, slowly move the searchcoil sideways
toward the target's suspected position until the audio response
produces a consistent, symmetric beat. This indicates the
lateral left-to-right position of the target. Then locate the
target's front-to-back position by rotating around 90° and
repeating the same process.
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.
