Hi KC, I just picked up a Surf PI Pro myself last week. I have yet to take it out but have used many other detectors over the years. Most of my recent experience has been in freshwater where I have used my 1280-x quite a bit. I got the PI Pro for the salt water and black sand beaches here in California so I am anxious to read any responses. Pinpointing with the PI is also a concern of mine. Years ago I had an early PI machine that was so hard to pinpoint with that I got rid of it. One thing I have noticed with other detectors is that the closer an object is to the surface the harder it is to pinpoint. In this situation it helps to lift the coil up a bit higher and then the signal should be strongest near the center of your coil. A bigger scoop also helps to compensate for a lack of precise pinpointing. Accuracy is usually not as critical in the easy to dig sand.
Also, if you are a beginner, dig all your signals to learn the size of objects, especially the small signals. Small signals may be small jewelry, chains or objects laying at an angle. Your enthusiasm will carry you a long way but determination may be more important. If you really want to find enough to pay for the machine and much more...you will. George.
 
I have a DF, so I assume its similar... x the target ... dig, EZPZ. Iron will have a mellower tune than the sound a coin or ring will make, really sharp. Turn on and go no rocket science... if ya don't go over it you will never find it.
 
When you get a target go round it 360
