New D2 Coil for MXT PRO

[KRose]

I received my new coil for the MXT PRO today and while I believe I'm really going to like this coil, I'm going to have to work with this in learning the pinpointing accuracy of the D2. The D2 is supposedly one of Whites most accurate pin pointers, and I'm sure it is. Our backyard is infested with iron and the ground gave myself and the coil a run for the money. Where most coils read dead center of the coil, the D2 reads to the front edge of the coil. If anyone here has used this coil relic hunting and could give me some tips or pointers on learning this, I'd certainly appreciate it. One thing I'm going to have to do is change locations in working with this where there is not as much iron in the ground. Thanks in Advance.

good luck on the coil all I can say about pin pointing is practice practice practice

Congrats on the coil Kevin, ,
One tip I have about learning about any new coils I have purchased is,,,
You have to use them.
Lol

Just do the wiggle and pull back towards you at the same time.
The instant the sound cuts off, target is immediately in front of the front coil tip.

Thanks for the tip BigD. I'll give this a try. Our back is just a challenge because of so much iron. I'll work more with it before I take it out for sure. Thanks again for the tip on the video.

I worked more this afternoon with the D2 coil. It was raining today so I worked with the coil in my room. The coil was much more stable today and dead on pinpointing once out of the iron field. I believe I'm really going to like this coil.

Once you've used a DD coil you'll never go back to concentric.

Good luck with your new coil Kevin.

When I get a good target , I use pin point unless there is trash . If there is trash I do the DD wiggle in a small motion , then rotate 90 deg. and continue if it moves . I'm usually dead on, but sometimes deep targets are a little left and closer to center . Hope this helps , just keep at it and post some pic's .

Sorry , no really .
