Hello,
I'm new to this site and to the hobby of detecting, I've done some research but still a little confused with some stuff,
for example can someone tell me, What is the best situation to use pinpoint mode ? Any feedback would be great.

Hi Wolfy

I don?t use a commercially manufactured MD but rather a home made one however from what I understand you do your search in normal mode then once you have a signal you go to pinpoint mode. Pinpointing is to zero in on the object that is buried in the ground so that you don?t have to dig a great big hole in order to find it. There are possibly other times that you would use it but I will leave that to the other members that will be able to inform you correctly. Hope this helps

Regards Xavier

Hi wolfy

Welcome aboard, concerning to complete inforformation given by Xavier, the Pinpoint determine the exact location
of a target that is still hidden in the ground, wall or other structure. For example : To use the pinpoint function, move the searchcoil to the side of the target's loudest audible tone. Press the Pinpoint button (if you have it ) and hold it down while sweeping the searchcoil at a constant height over the target area. Sweep the searchcoil side to side and front to back at the lowest constant height to locate the area causing the loudest signal. With practice at pinpointing, you will be able to pinpoint objects very quickly.

Good luck

Luc
