Hi All, Hell, Ive been sitting here for 124 hours reading this great forum. No noise in the house, I think the kids have grown up, the wife's ran off with a bloke (he don't have a ND) and my hairs turned grey..
OK, now I have your attention..........
Today I took the GT outside to have a play in the front yard.
placed a few coins 6" deep, set up the GT, shut me eyes and started to practice pinpointing (waiting for that meter and probe).
Once I found the target I then started to pinpoint (had to use my memory where the all metal toggle was and pinpoint down toggle).
I found this happened, but am I wrong.
When I thought I was on top of the target i lifted the coil say 2-3 inches and slowly started going up/down. On the way up the noise started but on the way down the noise stopped.
I opened my eyes and started to try a few different things.I again pinpointed to as close as I thought was centre.Again pumped the coil up/down slowly but this time the noise was on the way down, not like before when it was on the way up.
I put down the GT and started digging, turns out I was spot on.
MMMMMM, now me is thinking.Oh Yer, it was a 10cent piece, cant read the date.
I place it back on the ground (now with eyes open) directly center of coil, lift it up no noise, lower to coin and now i get noise. I moves a few inches OFF centre and try again.
This time noise as I lift, quite as I lower.
Hope I'm not rambling too much but has any 1 tried this and can they verify this.
I think I could now almost be exactly dead centre in pitch black with my eyes shut.
time for a rest from typing. Again, Thanks to you all and extra thanks to Rick (you know who you are)
