Now, tape coins on cardboard, flip cardboard over..using the method described in video above find the coins. Then try to pinpoint them...when the beep/bong stops. take screwdriver, and poke hole into cardboard, flip cardboard over...see how close ya came?..Remember to watch where he says the item is under the coil when the beep/bong stops....
NOW PRACTICE....Enjoy the ride!

I've found the best way to see where yur detector pinpoints is to mark a large cross (In the dirt, on cardboard, anywhere) and place a coin in the center. When you pinpoint it, the coil will cover it but you can still tell where it is by the lines of the cross. Do this a few times and you will know where to dig when you pinpoint a signal.
