I've always pinpointed with a double D coil by using the tip or tail of the coil to find the target. That works fine for most targets but I find that when the target is real deep I have trouble finding it. I mostly PP in discriminate these days but do use PP mode some times. I could use advice on learning to use the center of the coil to PP so that I don't have any trouble finding deeper targets. How do you guys go about doing that? I never really have given it much of a try because like I said I've always used the tip or tail of the coil.
Think I'm finally home after a lot of years searching for my particular needs. Custom 1.5 lb lighter
Sovereign GT (easy to do by just "building" lighter shaft) & SEF 12x10 as everyday coil. 8" Tornado (actually 7.25") as super heavy trash coil (Very deep & separates better than typical 8/9" true size coils). 13" Ultimate for large fields/beaches on certain days I want to grid faster than even the 12x10's nice improvement over stock for that. Stock 10" Tornado stays on water rig (stock shaft).

What matters in life is the journey and not the desitination. How you handle that journey determines if you were a success, not so much what you achieved if and when you finally get there, especially if you made it by stepping on people along the way...
