A noob question from a noob.
When using pinpointing mode with the Equinox stock coil, is there a sweet spot? For a shallow target I can easily find it with a pinpointer or a coin probe. But not for deep targets.
I try to do the sweep, move 90 degrees, sweep again technique, but either I am doing something wrong, or I forget where I got the strongest signal before moving and I am swiping in the wrong area. Sometimes I get no signal after moving, it only picks up sweeping from one angle.
The weird thing is, when I move the coil side to side, and front to back, I am able to find the strongest signal. Like the cross-hairs of a gun. So there must be a spot on the coil that this signal can be best localized to. I don't think it's the center of the coil. It must be along the vertical midline, but what I haven't the faintest idea about the top-bottom orientation of horizontal line that crosses it. Sometimes it ends up being near the bottom of the coil after I dig it up. Other times closer to the center, or even above it.
Thanks in advance for everyone's feedback.
