I am saving up for a pinpointer, but I have a question: does one live up to its name? I mean, I want it to show me where the target is after I have dug where my coil has told me to. My coil seems to have several sweet spots, so after I dig its tough for me to find the target. Will a pinpointer detect within an INCH of the target?
Coin probes: I saw one on ebay and someone here told us how he made one-- basically its a metal rod inserted into a golf ball or wooden ball. The one on ebay said you insert the rod into the ground until it stops (hitting the coin) -- "and its that easy!" says the ad. But I am wondering how easy it is, if a coin can be laying in the dirt at just abut any angle. The coin probe is not going to be stopped by a coin if the coin is in any vertical position -- correct??
