That's some small gold to be picking up with the pro pointer ,
I also notice your using the sliding the copper along
To get some extra signal happening

Don't wrry changing to copper any metal will do. When I am pinpointing coins and having trouble I just slide my left hand with wedding ring on down the pinpointer and achieve the same effect.
Are you waving the pointer on the end of a stick like a detector? If so that is awesome!

These are an amazing find. I have never used a pinpointer - could you please tell me how they react to mineralised soils like we get in Victoria? Well done!!!!!

Learned that real quick when I had the Whites TDI haven't bothered carrying the pro pointer with me since getting the GPX. I hear that if you put the probe into a faraday cage that it will stop it. Something to do with the capacitor across the coil not being disconnected when switched off. Put it into a cut off deodorant can can stop the signals...

Propointers are a non auto-tune type detector and don't require motion so if you 'load' the detection area with metal right on the edge of being detected then the amount of metal required or the range to a piece of metal required to trigger a response in the detector becomes minimal. You can actually get them to beep and bringing metal near will just increase the rate of beeping - even more sensitive but a bit annoying...

Not true, mine does, might depend on settings also, in Coin/relic mode it really interferes as soon as the pinpointer is turned on. In Fine gold I don't think it was as bad.
