Because the MXTs does not have manual ground balance you can make it go deeper by ground balancing and holding the
coil up off the ground meaning when you lower the coil to the ground stop the coil at about 4 or 5 inches above the
ground and then lock it, you will notice that once locked and your lower the coil to the ground that you will get a slight
raise in threshold which it is slightly more positive and the reason why people like manual ground balance
Either way you can set it up the same way as you would if you had manual control.
At this point I now turn up the gain to where it starts to chatter and then just back it off slightly so the threshold becomes
stable, The other way to set the gain is to start of around 7.5 and keep sneeking it up until getting too much junk come through
the disc setting, But For peace of mind just turn the gain up til it starts to chatter and back it off so it is right on the edge
of being stable and then back it of just a tiny bit more and this will serve you very well, and if you are doing big areas every
so often find a clean patch of ground and leave the gain setting in the position you have been hunting in, switch back into ground
pump the coil a few times and switch back into lock again, and you are good to go again, when you get to understand this machine
you will start to run it right on the edge of being stable, but I have stopprd doing that because being stable is the key
The reason I say lock the ground balance is because in junk filled sites you do not want the MXT to track the junk or in other words
ground balance the junk out because you will loose good targets, only use the ground tracking in places where it is hard
to ground balance the machine or in very clean areas.
As for the pinpoint mode be warned that this is a powerful mode and will blow ya ears off if there is big junk just under the surface
if I find a target I move the coil away to one side then pull the trigger and creep up to the target and taking a mentle note
of how big an area the signal covers this way i can work out if it is a beer can or a coin or a ring,
In using pinpoint If I want to shrink the search area I will sometime just go past the target and release the trigger and then
pull it again so it desensatizes the pinpoint mode and that will help me work out how big the target is and also pinpoint
the target better,
I hopes this helps and please let us know how you get on and if you are stuck, just call. HH

One other thing to remember if you get too many signals come through just turn your gain down
and clean out the good stuf off the top and turn her up and go again
