| I'm new to metal detecting and not very good at it -- yet. When you get a hit on your detector, what's the best way to narrow down the area where the treasure is? I'm doing a lot of digging and could use some suggestions. Thanks for replying.

Hello again Phillygirl . This question will get you answers from a lot of members .
I am always in a hurry so I do not like to use use a separate pin-pointer . 1st the ground balance is set and 2nd I am now running in my pre-set Discrimination mode . 3rd after it beeps I always check the ID number displayed. 4th I switch to all-metal mode for the strongest signal at the center "X" mark of my search coil and then dig right below that reference mark below the search-coil . If I detect on Grass I dig a Vee type plug and flip or fold the grass over [Like a lid] so it can be put back over like it originally was . If it is only soft dirt / ground my composite digger can be a little sloppy. I carry a tiny small tarp for sifting the dirt on with my hand and then put all the dirt back in the hole .
I use the all metal mode on my metal detector for pin-pointing . Be careful what you use to dig so you do not scratch your coins . Others are welcome to comment here .
Best Regards...........Eugene
