Title: garret pinpointer Post by: digger on July 05, 2013, 09:41:47 AM hi all, I remember reading advice on DW a while ago about how to get more depth from
a garret pinpointer. as I,ve just ordered one from Crawfords yesterday,and hopefully will get it in time for Sunday.it was something about putting a coin on the probe. could some kind soul remind me of what to do.

I've also modifid mine with a coat sleeve that I cut from a old quilted coat,I cut the sleeve just below the elbow I then cut a slot for the arm cup screw to go through, I placed the arm cup inside the sleeve and the arm cup holds it in place on the detecter. If you have problems with your arm and shoulder like I do it helps take some of the wieght of the detecter off your arm. |
