Indian Steve and I went chest deep yesterday evening. There was one target I scooped around 20 times and couldn't get it. Later Steve came over to that spot, found the signal - and he couldn't scoop it either. So, we decided it was deep in the hard pack beneath the sand.
But on several other targets I scooped about 10 times before getting the target out. My method is X'ing the target from multiple directions - some were probably tilted in the sand projecting a wide signal. I'd put my toe up to the coil and lay my scoop on top of my foot, lip to toe. When I managed to scoop them they were all coins.
Anyone here have any better ways of pinpointing?
I think I saw reference once to the method of pinpointing with the CTX, wiggling the coil and then zeroing in with the top edge of the coil being the location.
