Hey you guys I'm gonna fire up the Detecto cam and let you watch the MP3 work.  I can't figure that thing out.  I have 2 issues so far, it gives off a series of strange beeps all on one target, and any tips on FINDING a target with a 10 inch coil would be helpful.  I'm thinking about seeing if they have a much smaller coil for it.


Buy a bigger shovel Cheesy Cheesy Grin Grin Grin  .Pat dont forget with a bigger coil you have to sweep a little faster

IE if you had a 6" coil then you need to go 40% faster with a 10" coil

Pat a concentric puts a cone shape in the ground, and a DD puts a  narrow blade pattern in the ground

Yep, DD is like a Paint brush pattern.

To Pin Point you have to hit the target from two directions or use the Heal or Toe of the coil.

I guess its a concentric then.  But it starts pickin stuff up at the outer rings of the coil, right?  Its an MP3 Pro I bought from Kellyco.

Does the machine have a PinPoint switch?

If not the target should still be strongest in the vary center of the coil.

Wow.  Swinging it faster is just the opposite of what I need to happen cause the coil is so big.  Know what I mean?  Its like that is going to make it even harder to find the target.  Its like swinging a trash can lid.

More like trying to swing a trash can lid to find a penny.

No it doesn't have a pin pointer.  What was I thinking?
