Hi Stan,  :) Look at your coil, there is a small circle just in front of where the stem meets the coil, that is where your target will be, wish I could show you, you'd get it in no time. Let me know how your doing Stan.
ps theres a pinpointing feature on the machine, but I have never used it. Pull the trigger forward and the machine is in pinpoint mode.

Thanks Maxine, you have told me about this previously, but it went in one ear and
out again. Must be having senior moments.  Stan

Hi Digger
I don't ever use the pinpoint feature, instead, once I find a target, I "X" it and get a mental picture in my head where the center of the target is. Works 90% of the time, sometimes, if it's a big greenie on edge or slanted, this way won't work. Also, I just got the FX1 pinpointer and it works great when something is on the side of the hole. Practice will get ya better!  :) Good luck

Mark a white Blob in the centre of the coil as a reference point. Being Oval, the centre can be deceptive.

Push the pinpoint trigger forward and using the rotary knob, reduce the pinpoint sensitivity to about 20 or less. You can pinpoint down to an inch now 8)

This is what I did. The shape of the coil and where the stem joins it makes you percieve the centre to be somewhere 'off centre' if that makes sense. With a Polo coil  it's dead easy to see the centre.

As well as a Blob of white in the TRUE centre, a blob on the edge of the coil either side of centre also helps.
