[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 248329, member: 3149"] Mono coils in Enhance, Sens Smooth or Fine Gold, always try to use Fixed BUT don't be scared of Tracking if conditions dictate. When would I consider using Tracking? 1. When I find my unit is constantly going out of balance 2. After your third or fourth hole for charcoal or clay dome 3. When you are more prospecting, so covering a lot of ground rather than gridding a small area Can you track targets out when using Tracking? YES, but it isn't as common as some would lead you to believe How can you avoid tracking targets out? 1. Keep a wide sweep over the suspected target area 2. Move coil to the side of the suspected target area, [u]pump coil up and down[/u] and press and hold the Quick-Trak button to lock the tracking 2b. Alternative to "pump coil up and down" is to do a sweep around the suspected target area in Tracking, then lock it 3. Don't sweep over the target area so many times, just dig :D [/QUOTE]
