Not sure if this has been posted before but found this little tidbit...learn something new every day....
Great for the newbe's..or for people like me

Garrett created that "hidden trick " by making it the last segment of the instructions that are sent with each Pro pointer:
(It's interestng they don't include tips to the method for increasing sensitivity yet people seem to know more about it)


Pinpointing Large Objects: When locating
large metal objects—whether in the ground or in a
wall—you can improve the pinpointing capability by
"detuning" the PRO-POINTER in order to narrow the
detection field, as follows.
Slowly scan towards the object until the detector's
response increases to the full/constant alarm. Then,
without moving the detector, switch the power off and
then back on again in order to cancel out the target
and narrow the detection field. Now continue scanning
towards the object to find its precise location. Repeat
the power off/on cycle to further narrow the detection
field as needed.
After you have finished, you can return the PROPOINTER
to its normal detection field by simply
switching the power off and back on while holding it
away from all metal.

Duh....guess I didn't read all the instructions..

Thanks shoveler
