I know this has been posted quite a bit, but as a nOOb, and for other nOObs, I'd thought I'd stress this point (I made a funny
The Garrett Pro-Pointer, imo, is FAR better than the Fisher/Bounty pointer, as I have both. Idk about the Harbor Freight model, but from what Ive read its about the same as the Fisher/Bounty.
But, I digress.
Supertuning, as shown here, is an incredible way to get "more" out of your GPP.
Thank you Digger27.

I went ahead and made my own glove, with the "Hunk 'O Metal" sewn onto it.
This helps GREATLY. After pinpointing with my MD, I switch over to my GPP. I'll then scan the ground where the MD has pinpointed and see if I can get a signal. If not, I'll supertune it and scan again. You'd be surprised. Yesterday in moist soil, I could get a signal 4" deep...JUST with the supertuned GPP. This helps me dig a much smaller plug exactly where I need too dig.
After pulling the flap of the plug, I can then scan again and determine if my target is in the plug, or in the hole. If I don't get a signal, I'll supertune and scan again. I haven't "lost" a target yet doing this. After determining where the target is, I'll then turn off the GPP and turn it back on (while in range of the target) and this allows me to get almost an exact target location (The GPP will almost have to be touching the target to signal.)
After retrieving the target, I'll supertune the GPP again and scan the hole, the plug and the surrounding area. I'm amazed how well scanning the ground while supertuned works. I've found many other targets without using the MD.
So, just my $0.02 for us "nOObs" here.
