[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 674630, member: 4485"] Should have mentioned above that although the custom search modes are preset by Minelab, users can change them to suit themselves too. That being said though the idea of the pinpoint mode isn't to use as a general detecting mode being preset with "amped" up settings. You could of course adjust it (or use another custom mode) once you find your own happy medium of ground handling vs. signal volume/target response in your area. You could very likely end up back close to your usual settings though? By design I'd assume pinpoint mode as is (without adjustment) would lift all signals including unwanted ground noise + hotrocks so wouldn't be practical for wider area detecting unless the ground was very benign. Might be ok in a small area patch going very slowly? [/QUOTE]
