[QUOTE="rocketaroo, post: 170386, member: 4395"] Your not going to cover much ground with that small coil. Keep persisting with the gold coil, you will get good with pinpointing.....most of the time I dont use the pinpoint function at all. The sound, and depth meter will tell the tale....when the target sounds its clearest, balanced, and is at its shallowest on the meter, then dig. I am getting the 7.5khz, 10.5 inch double D coil, for my birthday tomorrow. I reckon it will cover more ground, and still give excellent target seperation, and hopefully a little better on high conductors. I am pretty new to this, but you shouldnt buy a smaller coil, just to improve your pinpointing. You buy them for better target seperation in really trashy areas, or when getting in between tree roots. Just keep petsisting :-) Oh, and before you dig, allways probe the spot with your pinpointer, they can detect at least 2 inches down. [/QUOTE]
