The 10x14DD excellerator came today. Dispite the steady drizzel
I took it out to a park to test it out. I found that because its so big
it wants to change its position on the detector, but I tightened the
plastic connectors really tight and parcticed pinpointing.Trying to pinpoint off the tip
of the coil was futile. I ended up calling Garrett and talking to a technition.
He gave me the following directions.
When you get the target, pinpoint by raising the coil up as high as you can
from the ground. Just as the signal begins to fade, hold it there and move
the coil front and back and side ways right and left until you hear it where its
the loudist. Keep your eye on that spot. It should be right about in the middle.
I took the coil back to the park and did it as he instructed. It DOES work. It took
some practice but I was able to dig some targets. There were no deep targets
at the field. There were some odds and ends along with some crushed
pop cans about three to four inches down, but there were exactly where the
coil SAID they were.
Besides the pop cans I found some small change, an iron nut and a lighter
that was absolutely no good.. The point is though that with some practice
anyone can pinpoint with this monster coil.
I can't wait to take it out into some plowed fields where some old
buildings used to be.
For anyone interested I found this litttle LED light about two inches
long at the Dollar Tree store. I've used it at night and it gives off just enough
light to see the MD display and to see the target in the hold your digging. It doesn't attract
any undue attention. Its only a dollar but I think they are at the dollar store for a reason.
You might try to find them at an Auto parts store where I originally saw them.

Its a great coil. Found my first ring ever with it yesterday!! Pin pointing off the front was very easy for me just find center draw back till sound gone and bam right there. But glad you got a way that works for ya.
