[QUOTE="1968falconxt, post: 468178, member: 11897"] I don't see how you came to that conclusion. Using a pin point function on the detector tells you that the target is somewhere near the centre of the coil (or the edge) and could really be at any depth. It involves getting up and down constantly, digging a hole and getting up and swinging over it. Digging again and looking and then swinging over it again, followed by scooping dirt over the coil until you get a signal. And you cant tell really how close a target is either. A good pin pointer makes recovery times easily 5x faster for coin hunting. Using a pin pointer for coins means that 9/10 times a tiny little plug can be cut to get to the target with almost no impact to the ground. We coin shooters cant go digging large craters with a pick and later just back fill (or even not back fill). I wouldn't even bother swinging without a pin pointer now. [/QUOTE]
