[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 468327, member: 44"] Not sure where you detect Evie, but over here the majority of target are withing the first six to eight inches. I agree you don't need a pin pointer if looking for gold, you can usually find a target in your spoils with you hand and the coil much quicker than you could with a pin pointer. Where a pin pointer does shine, is on a large target in a deep hole. As you would know, when you place your coil into a deep hole with a large target your coil can overload and you often can't tell where the signal is coming from. A pin pointer can isolate it. Saying that, I haven't used a pinpointer in a bazilion years as placing the detector into cancel can achiev the same thing. In your last post you mention using the 10 x 5 joey, so are you swapping to the joey after digging your two foot + holes in which case it would be quicker and easier to grab a pin pointer or are you saying you're detecting nuggets at two + feet with the joey?
