[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 377042, member: 3775"] A Pin pointers range depends a lot on it's frequency and the target type, most 12 to 14khz PP's are good on coins where PP's that are in the 30Khz + range are better for nuggets, one thing to note is that just because a PP hits a coin at 3 to 4 inches does not make it a good choice, the Idea of a pin pointer is to zero in on a target, because if it has too much power then it will signal off of any other things that are in the same hole, the power of pin pointers is closely related to it's frequency, And yes you can turn down the power but when you do that you loose sensitivity to tiny targets the lower the frequency the more range it has and vice versa. but higher frequency pin pointers are better for tiny targets, becacuse you can run them up high and still not be over loaded with signals, hope this helps.
