Another great educational video. Thank you for your time and efforts. I ground balance by turning on the pinpointer while in contact with the ground. Turning it on next to the target is what I think of as “desensitizing”. It’s similar to what I do when pinpointing with the detector.
I have a Profind 35 / MineLab pinpointer , so I'll definitely be trying that out just to hone my skills a bit more and yeah really interesting to know ,as I was turning my pointer on in the air and it is highly sensitive picking up the steel reinforcing in my floor at around one to two feet and it works great for finding nails in the wall studs and wiring, a side bonus. Great Mate now I just need a pin pointer to find my pin pointer LOL 😊Cheers Mate👍👍👍😎💨🏴☠☮☮☕☕🔧💡
Hi Tim. I’m pretty sure you can ground balance this model pinpointer by turning it on while touching the ground. You might also be able to do this while it’s already on - maybe check out the manual for the Profind 35 to double check.
I’m trying to find a metal detector or pinpointer than coin alert me when there’s a silver quarter mixed in with about 100 clad quarters when spread out on a table. Do you have any suggestions?
Interesting idea. You could use a small coil (Eg 6”) on an Equinox detector. You would need to make sure that you reduce the sensitivity way down so that other metal objects in the vicinity didn’t interfere with it, and make sure the table did t have any metal frame/legs etc. You could then discriminate out the target ID for the clad coin, and look for the target ID of the silver coin (which would be much higher). It would be best to spend the coins out as much as possible so the clad coins weren’t masking out the silver coin. Good luck with it!
@@coilsandcoinsdetecting Thanks for the reply. I’m not sure I’m that committed to spending $1xxx to find a few $5 coins but I have about $15,000 in quarters every month and I can’t seem to find an efficient way to pull out the silver coins mixed in. If you think of any other ideas let me know!! ;)
Many pinpointers have a button that allows you to reduce the sensitivity. This is more a ground balance as it works by holding the pinpointer against the ground and pressing the button once to calibrate for the mineralisation in the soil, allowing the metal target to be more precisely located.

Another fantastic video…clear, concise and to the point! Keep em coming!
Much appreciated!
As always, very helpful video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Great info on the mi4 never knew that but will have to try it
Thankyou for your videos
Some good finds enjoyed the video
Thanks 👍
The carrot works the same way. Thanks!
Yep - a useful function that’s for sure!
Thanks for sharing the great tip my DR.ÖTEK pin pointer can also do the same.

Is it really a ground balance or is it just desensitized?
Many pinpointers have a button that allows you to reduce the sensitivity. This is more a ground balance as it works by holding the pinpointer against the ground and pressing the button once to calibrate for the mineralisation in the soil, allowing the metal target to be more precisely located.
