pinpoint question for Classic IDX users.

Hello all,
I bought this detector a few years ago and put it away for quite awhile. I got laid off and then went to school, but I broke it out and am back hunting again! Anyways, I am having problems pinpointing with the Blue Max 950 coil that came with the detector. I have been using an older Blue Max 600 coil for the moment. Seems that with the 950 coil, I am having some problems centering the target...I am almost always either to the left or right of the target after I dig. I usually hunt with the presents in the ring range until I am more comfortable, but could anyone offer any hints or suggesting when it comes to pinpointing? I just HATE digging an larger than necessary hole when I am hunting!

Thanks and happy hunting,
Steeler Fan

Hey Steeler, once you get the signal, try criss crossing over it in an X. Where the lines cross hopefully will be your target. Just a suggestion if you haven't tried it. Good Luck and let us know. 8)
