improving your odds of finding treasure

		Quote:			Posted by Phillygirl
	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

Hello stormrider . As I stated in my post above I switch to all-metal mode [non-motion] with a simple push of a button  , which is the same as the pinpoint button on many detector models out there . I only have one device to control not two . Everyone has different recovery methods .

Boost Feature in most cases is an increase in the audio signal to receive the faint or weak signals more audibly . All the above help in the target recovery process .  Comments are welcome from others !!
