Using the Pinpoint Mode (Garrett ACE 250)

The ACE 250 is equipped with an electronic Pinpoint pushbutton that makes pinpointing more accurate. Using this Pinpoint Mode is simple to do. After detecting a target, place the search-coil on the ground to the side of the target's suspected location. Now, press and hold the Pinpoint pushbutton while maintaining contact with the ground and slowly move your search-coil from left to right and then front to back over the suspected target's location. The maximum sound will be heard when the target is directly beneath the centre of the search-coil as shown. fig.1-1
 Targets typically pinpoint under centre of coil.

Also, while electronically pinpointing, the Upper Scale on the LCD indicates signal strength. When the greatest number of LCD segments (increasing left to right on the scale) is shown, the centre of the search-coil is directly over the target.

NOTE: Keeping the search-coil on the ground will help ensure the distance between the coil and the ground remains constant throughout the pinpointing process; in this case the distance is zero inches. If the terrain does not allow for this type of "coil scrubbing" then do your best to maintain a constant height between the coil and the ground.
