Video on pinpointing with the ATP

[SWKDigger]

I know I don't have many posts on here but thought I would post a link to a video I just made. I've had some friends who had a little trouble pinpointing with the ATP so I made a video using 6 different ways of pinpointing and put it on YouTube. The quality isn't the greatest because my camera was shaky and I chose to allow YouTube to "stabalize" the video. Big mistake. This is also my first video. BTW, I'm not monetizing this video so that isn't my motive here. I just wanted to share. If you get something from it, great.

Anyway, here is the video.

Pinpointing is an art, especially with a DD coil. I much prefer a concentric coil. Thanks for the video. I bet you probably cut the learning curve for some new users a bit shorter.

Great video . I never use the pinpoint button unless it's to size a target. I X the target. It's Always in the middle. I use the Gold more then the Pro but both are great detectors. Where do you get the tips ( red cover ) for the propointer . My tip on my propointer is bad and I could use a few of those tips. Thanks GS

Thanks for the comments on my video!!!

I cover the tip of my pro pointer with plastidip.

If your pro pointer tip is worn out, I would recommend rebuilding it with epoxy and then covering it with the plastidip. I put on three good coats. It's easy to pull off the old and apply new coating when necessary.

BTW, I used to cover the whole probe, up to the power button. Now I have a pro pointer mount on my detector and it won't work with the whole thing coated.

Ive found the wiggle method to be the simplest and fastest way to pinpoint. I really dont know why some people have so much trouble pinpointing , whichever way you do it the process isnt difficult.
