how deep do you go??

[TennRon]

I'm new to this site but I can tell there's a lot of good info here. I have had the same problem with my CZ. I usually try and dig 2 to 2 1/5" below the indicated depth. Keep in mind if you manually ground balance that you are looking at the depth as the distance from the coil. Taller or shorter grass will change the depth indication depending on how high the grass was when you ground balanced your md. if you do not have a depth indicator check the pattern size and shape when you pinpoint. Drop some coins of various sizes on the ground to try and get the feel for them when you pinpoint as you raise the coil up. I have found cans and lids and other stuff too but you wouldn't want to walk away from a good belt buckle. when this happens to me I save the hole for last, I just gotta know what's there but if i get greedy and run out of time, I fill the hole and place a white golf tee in the center and dig that rascal the next chance i get.

I know what you mean. I finaly got a pinpointer and by trial and error I found that my prizm dos not pinpoint under the 11 but about one inch behind it so i'm 1 inch off .such a nube mistake

Great idea using the golf tees as markers...I'm going to put a handful in my hunting bag!
