First time out with the 1350

[HotTexas]

Welllllllll I don't know what to think just yet, It's a new animal to me.

Went to a park just big enough so I could stay out of the trash some, but after a hour or so it didn't bother me to move into the trash, one thing I like is you can set the 1350 to hunt anyway you chose to do so.

mostly hunted the coin mode I turned the sen. down to about 6 and ran very good even in tall grass. At the end of the day I got ok with the profile I think 1 or 2 more times out I will have it down.

Now pinpoint was giving me the most trouble, no mater what I did I couldn't nail it down. target was off to the right for some reason,
ya I know it's me

One thing that I very much liked is the headphone jack plugs into the rear of the battery pack :thumbs the card never once got in my way.

I got a lot of trash but you got to if you want to learn your detector, I just had to see what it was and how the detector reacted to it.

OOOOOh yes the coin bell tone I Love it

That belltone is sweet. I have really enjoyed my 1500. After a while you will wonder how you hunted without sizing. I got the 4.5 for mine and it is deadly.

Soooo you had problems with pinpointing?
I thought the ACE250 was the only machine that had that problem.
Is anyone else haveing pinpointing problems with the 1350?

the 1350 - no trouble pinpointing

I have none. It pinpoints well, better than the 250, IMO. You DO have to grasp the concept of the ellipitical pattern, though. It is different than a concentric, more like a double "D"

Imagine a line running the length of the coil, down the center. Call it the "hot" line. That is your active target zone. When targets are beneath the line, they signal along it. So you move the coil front to back, as you sweep side to side.

So you get a signal. Now you have to and you sweep it - DO NOT attempt to pinpoint with a slow moving coil. It has to be moving. This is the most common mistake people make.
Now once you have the signal under the coil, move the coil in short sweeps of a few inches as you move it backwards towards you. On shallow targets when the beeping stops it will be under the front section of the coil..."on the tip" some call it.
On deeper ones, it will move towards the center notch area.
Me, I dont use the pinpoint much. I just listen to the signal and get a "MindsEye" mage of where it is. It sounds odd, but it beats fooling with all that PP business.

Your goal should be to pinpoint while the coil moves, though. You cant hover the coil and hope to do much.

You use your minds eye? No it doesn't sound strange. Sounds more like you have a good intuition/psychi head on your shoulders. No really. I know some people poo poo that sort of thing but I've had far too many experiences to just brush the possibility aside.
