Pinpointing
21
Accurate pinpointing enables fast recovery with the
smallest hole possible. To use Pinpoint:
• Position the searchcoil to the side of the target’s
suspected location at a fixed height above the
ground.
• Press and hold the Pinpoint button and slowly sweep
the searchcoil over the target area while maintain-
ing the same fixed height above the ground (e.g. 1
inch).
• Sweep the searchcoil side-to-side and front-to-back
in a cross-hair pattern to locate the peak signal, indi-
cated by the loudest audio and the greatest number
of segments on the Upper Scale.
• The center of the searchcoil is directly over the
target with the depth of a coin-sized target shown
on the depth scale. The symbol “PP” for pinpoint
displays on the LCD while pinpointing.
It is recommended to practice pinpointing in a test plot.

For the best pinpointing results, maintain a constant height above
the ground (e.g. 1 inch).
