Hey I was just curious if any of you have experienced some of these issues with your pinpointer;
Sometimes it does not seem as sensitive as others. I have noticed it will pick up a coin approximately 3 inches and maybe a little better sometimes. Then at other times it seems to only pick up around and inch. Also It seems to be falsing somewhat whenever I am trying to find those tricky targets still in the hole. The other day I thought I just had a false signal and then I went and got my digger to see if the pinpointer was still working and noticed it was not working. I took out the battery and put it back in, the battery is still good. I fiddled with the sensitivity knob and all of a sudden there it goes working just fine. I keep mine on vibrate. Do you guys think that maybe some trash or dirt has gotton into the unit keeping the little motor from making it vibrate? Or is it just the nature of these pinpointers to be kind of squirlley? This is the only pinpointer I have ever had and it is only about a month old.
