First valuable find

[madhattr88]

Hey everyone. Just got into detecting. Picked up a Whites Coinmaster GT. Still getting used to it. I'm kinda confused with the pin pointing. Shows a quarter when swinging, but goes to a nail when in pin point mode. Anyway I've been digging everything. 90% clad and junk, but I found this today.

shows that you can't always trust what the machine shows. those readings are pretty generalized, so it's best to dig everything until you get very used to the machine and really understand what it's telling you. That's a nice indian head. congrats!

Perhaps an all metal pinpoint picks up a nail near the good target that you searched with discrimination!

I have a White's machine as well. The pinpoint mode usually gives you a depth indication as opposed to a VDI reading.... although I often get VDI readings that indicate possible coin type targets from nails that have been in the ground a while. Iron objects tend to give off a halo effect reading after being in the ground for a while and that often causes the VDI reading to false a little.
