If you are a coin and jewellery hunter mostly, and hunt areas a lot on sports fields, most of you gold & silver rings and clad will be in the upper 3-4". And, if you want to learn to pinpoint even faster and very accurately, pinpoint off the inner toe or inner heal of the coil. But first, put a mark on the inner center of the coil. Below are instructions on how to do this.:
Basically, you are tracing the coil and folding it in half to get your dead center. I used white ink WHITE OUT for my little marker.
I prefer using this coil not so much for the depth, but for the large size. I can hunt a large sports field much faster using this coil.
When I get a good signal, I center the coil over the target, and with my pinpoint button pushed on, I drag the coil on the ground towards myself, and where the audio suddenly cuts off, is under or just a little past that white dot. In essence, you are using that white dot as the pin pointer, and after several tries will be able to just stick a screwdriver under the ring or coin and pop it out real fast. Saving time by quickly pinpointing allows you to dig more targets over a period of time.
