67Pinpointing - Locating the TargetThe exact location of a target can belocated by using PINPOINT.In normal operation, the Explorer SE isa motion detector, meaning it must bemoving over a target to detect it.Enabling Pinpoint instructs thedetector to temporarily disengageDiscrimination Patterns and become anon-motion detector, therefore targetsnormally discriminated against will emita signal when underneath the coil.In Pinpoint, the detector gives acontinuous audio response. Thisresponse will get louder as the coilpasses directly above the target.The Pinpoint audio response is toneand volume modulated. The differencein tone and volume produced will helplocate the position and depth of thetarget.In Pinpoint, the depth and Crosshair orFER, COND are updated. This is useful foridentifying other targets next to the targetyou want to recover.lowhighhighlowlowTonethis target willproduce a loud,high tone soundthis target willproduce a quiet,low tone soundVolumecoil661 Once the approximate target locationis known, move the coil away from thatarea and press PINPOINT.2 Sweep the coil slowly over the targetlocation.3 Taking note of the response, reduce thespan of each successive pass of the coiluntil you are confident of the locationof the target. Make a mental note of theposition, or mark a line on the soil withyour shoe or a digging tool.4 Move to one side so that you can passthe coil over the target at right angles toyour initial direction. When the detectorsounds you should know exactly whereto dig.The detector may become noisy if Pinpointis enabled above a target. The detectormay also become noisy if left in Pinpoint. Ifthis occurs return to normal detection, andtry Pinpoint again.Even though the Target Crosshair and FERCOND numbers are updated in Pinpoint,Pinpoint is not recommended for normaldetecting. In Pinpoint the detector “locks”onto the strongest target signal, whichmay result in missing targets in trashyareas.
