Hi all, I finally made the plunge and bought a Deus (used). One thing I noticed is I will get a good, repeatable, 2 way tone and when I switch to pin-point I get nothing at all. It goes silent. I made sure the coil was waste high when putting into pin-point mode. At first I thought maybe the target was deep enough to be beyond the range of pin-point. So, I increased the sensitivity for non-motion but it does not help. I used the pumping feature for ground balance and thought maybe the GB was off and effecting the pin-point signal. I set it to the preset of 90. Still there is no difference. My soil is low/moderate mineralization. It has done this on more than one occasion (during the same hunt). The unit will pin-point a coin laying on the surface dead-on so the feature does work. This has me puzzled for sure. Have any of you run into this at all? I need to pick your brain a bit.
Also, when I bought the unit the basic 1 program was modified to the previous owners preference... so I did a "restore" to put everything back to where it needed to be and verified that every setting was indeed restored. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
