Tip on pinpointing with the 250 for those of you still having a problem..

IT has been well established that for shallow targets the pinpoint hotspot on the 250 coil is the front center of the inside oval on the coil - but for deeper targets it's a different story for as the target gets deeper this pinpoint hotspot moves backwards towards the center of the coil.

You can gauge this by how far you have to drag the coil back before the signal quits. If you only have to move it back an inch or so the target will be under the front center tip of the inside oval or very close. If you have to drag the coil back three or four inches the target will move to near the center of the inside oval. On deeper coins when you have to drag the coil back nearly the length of the coil the target will be near the center notch in the inside oval. This also applies to coins laying on the surface at the base of grass several inches high. With a little practice you can have this down pat.

Bravo!! Now if everyone applies this knowledge, we shouldn't have anymore pinpointing problems. It is right on, and I agree with your post.

Sure wish you could draw me a picture. I don't understand why the pinpointer is so hard to use. Grandaughters can't get it straight and I am not much better, and I have been detecting for years. Thanks and HH Dennis in Idaho
 
Tape some coins to the back of a piece of cardboard, lay it on the floor, and practice pinpointing them. Use a straight pin or something small with a sharp point to poke thru the cardboard to see if you hit the target. Once you get the hang of it it's easy as pie. Just takes a little practice.

No more trouble for me. I just go detecting on my backhoe. I dont have the hang of it yet. Damn i guess it is just part of the make-up of the 250. Dont have that trouble with any of the other detectors i own. Jery
