Default Sniper Coil

When you get your sniper coil if you are like me you will never take it off. Concerning your yard...Turn your Sen. up to about 5 and try your ACE is all the different Modes. If you are still not getting anything...Then...It's problem time. The Sniper Coil will find stuff the standard coil walks right over and you will see a tremendous difference in the pinpointing.

Default Sensetivity

If you don't get good results when you turn up the sens. to 5...Back it right back down to about 3 and try it in all modes.

Congratulations Rob, that sniper sure sounds like the way to go with the ACE. Good luck with it!

I'm not sure on the ACE, but the sniper on the F-2 shoots deep even when the sensitivity is turned down.

Pappy, that's what I've been thinking. At least it will stay on while coin shooting in town. Probably use the big coil for relic hunting in the country.
