It seems that Bryce uses the pinpoint ID as the final dig decision

Aaron...on the SE... whether or not there's iron or trash next to the coin....the all metal pinpoint will see the coin the vast majority of the time. I always go by sound first...then use the pinpoint as a weapon to help decide whether or not to dig.
What I mean by "see" the coin is...that If there is iron or trash there somewhere....the cursor WILL stay around the center top or right top...or flutter back and forth along the top. It will not lock far left like iron does. The cursor hardly ever locks on an iffy hit when using pinpoint on the SE. It flutters back and forth or jumps around somewhat...and you must rely on sound for the biggest part of making the decision. The pinpoint ID is just another weapon to help you decide.
Make sure you are directing the question to SE users as the EX2 and the XS do not ID in pinpoint mode.

I think what Bryce is saying is there are several ways to try and determine if the target is worth digging.... pinpointing, minelab wiggle, centering the target, position of the target on the screen or digital reding, and going at it from a different angle. If im going to all that trouble which is a time waster after awhile ill just dig the target. A lot of the new hunters try to cover too much ground. You are better off hitting an area slowly and digging iffy targets so you understand more of what might be under your coil. Nickels and IH are good example of coins that can bounce all over the place, but still have some logic on the screen. I think Mike Moultry had some great screen examples. Find more reasons to dig rather than not to dig. Most targets 6 inches or less.... if it shows iron, its iron, but the deep ones require more of your time.
