hen detecting hallow objects or objects with disturbed ground you can read both negative 

and positive numbers as it can detect the metal or the void, also the direction (north, south) the 
antenna is facing can influence the numbers. The indicating numbers may not be large, it is the 
difference in numbers that is the indicator. The monitor will show red when detecting a metallic 
object and blue will be a void (a negative or milligauss reading) when the values are set 
correctly. When a target is located mark the ground and approach the target area from different 
angles and try to repeat the scan results to confirm target location (this will assist in depth of 
target equation also).

if you wish to return to the spot of interest (If a GPS is integrated it can return you to a particular spot) use the ground marks you made and the 

Pinpointer Pro 

to locate the exact spot. 

For depth estimation mark the ground over target (largest Number) then walk away from target 
until you get "0" reading. Then measure distance to target, that distance will be approximate 
depth.

 Repeat several times at different angles of approach to affirm depth estimation.
