Pin Point VDI

I noticed that the numbers drastically changed in Pin Point. What kind if any information can be gained by these Pin Point numbers?

Pin point is all metal mode. If you're using a discrim. pattern, the PP with junk in the vicinity or heavily mineralized soil , yeah the numbers will change.

My Question is what do they Represent or stand for.

IMO using pinpoint on etrac.

Hard to use in trashy areas, just dig where the tone emits-- X the target

IMO pinpoint function only good for judging size of target in cleaner ground.

Pinpoint offers nothing to me as far as target ID.

I find the conductive reading in PP more important with co-located iron.
I don't usually PP but use the nose of the coil instead , especially with elliptical coils. However on deeper targets and targets with nearby trash I find the PP to be very helpful both for location , where careful recovery is important , and for spot on depth providing its a coin sized object. In trash the depth may frequently drop to the bottom of the scale as the trash is giving the etrac the stronger signal , but switching out of PP and wigglin' will give you the depth of the good target.
I may use PP 20% of the time

I don't give much importance to the ID numbers when pin pointing as in my experience PP ID numbers can be unreliable since its all metal mode.
I PP by tone and once the target is zeroed in on i switch back to detect mode then re-sweep over the zero'd-in area to verify the target ID once more.
Then i dig that Barber Half!
